I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amazon (Parigi)
Interview
Un test de logique, suivi de 3 phones screens espacés d'environ 2 semaines (anglais, RH, Manager). Beaucoup de temps entre les réponses. Dernière étape composé d'une journée de 6 entretiens (RH, Managers, personnes d'autres services). Test Excel sur cas pratiques et test de négociation au cours de deux des entretiens. Tous les entretiens qu'ils soient téléphoniques ou face to face reposent sur des questions sur des accomplissements professionnels liés à leurs Leadership Principles. Il faut être précis, concret et appuyer ses exemples par des chiffres (méthode STAR). Retour très rapide après la journée d'entretien.

Question 1
Donnez moi un exemple d'une innovation qui a "révolutionné" la vie d'une de vos entreprises précédentes?
Screening call with recruiter, followed by 3 back-to-back interview loops. Interviews focused primarily on behavioral questions tied to Amazon Leadership Principles, along with an Excel assessment testing analytical and data manipulation skills.
The process was well-structured and followed Amazon’s typical interview format:
1. Recruiter Screening
* Initial discussion about experience, role scope, and expectations
* Basic behavioral and background questions
2. Hiring Manager Interview
* Focus on past experience, business impact, and ownership
* Mix of behavioral and situational questions
3. Interview Loop (3–5 interviews)
* Multiple interviewers covering different Amazon Leadership Principles
* Included a Bar Raiser interview
* Heavy focus on:
* Decision-making
* Trade-offs
* Metrics and impact
* Depth of ownership

Question 1
Useless leadership principles framed in behavioral question. Tell me about a time when
You start with an online assessment, which is relatively easy. Then a recruiter reaches out to you if you pass and will ask standard hiring questions. After which, you will then have a phone screen interview and if you pass, you do an interview loop with 5 people. Which is insane for a role that does not pay 100K annually. They also make you go prepare 12-20 STAR stories that you should pretty much memorize.
