Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 3 días. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Slough, Berkshire, South East England, England) en may 2010
Entrevista
I was contacted via a recruitment consultant, I then submitted my CV and had a follow up phone screen with a category leader. This was mainly focussed on questions based on my current experience and CV. The next step was to complete verbal and numerical reasoning tests online. I then had two rounds of interview loops at Amazon, meeting people from different functions and going through competency based questions. At the last session I was also asked to bring along and discuss a short written exercise.
It was a long process but I felt I had a good understanding of the company and the people by the time I was offered the job - I think if I hadn't been really interested in the opportunity I would probably not have kept going back for the interviews though as I had to spend 3-4 hours at a time in the Slough offices for the interview loops.
Interview process is challenging but expected as everything you need to know is available online. They will schedule you with 4 employees from the team or organization you will work with and 1 completely separated from your organization as a "bar raiser". No need to work to impress one specific person, know 12-14 differentiated STAR formatted stories by memory.

Tell me about a time you created a metric to identify a need for change.
Not great. Very first interview had no proper introduction to the role and was not with HR, interviewee went straight into a case study within 5 minutes. Didn't seem interested in my actual work background.
