Amazon.com Supply Chain Intern Interview

Posted Nov 19, 2011

No Offer – Interviewed in Oct 2011 – Reviewed Nov 19, 2011

Interview Details This interview process was definitely an interesting one. It was a very difficult interview when compared to what most Supply Chain companies ask. The first round was behavioral and tested my Supply Chain knowledge, while the second round was a lot of thinking problems. I was very impressed that Amazon called me 2-3 days after my second interview to let me know that I was not receiving an offer; it was much better than an email.
