      Area Manager Interview

      Aug 16, 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Fresno, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Fresno, CA) in Aug 2018

      Interview

      Applied for L5 (Operations Manager II) Area Manager role for Fresno, CA. Was flown in for onsite interview. Did a tour of the FC. Met with 2 senior members and one HR Manager. One of the senior managers seemed to be disengaged and not interested in my candidacy at all. He was slightly rude. When I asked follow up questions, he seemed to be bothered by them as if the questions weren't high-level enough. I asked him what weaknesses does he see in the Operations Managers and he responded "Operations Managers are barriers themselves." Seemed as if he places the blame on others rather than taking Ownership in his team's performance. The other senior manager was more personable but when I asked him how does he develop his direct reports, he responded with examples of him delegating. He never provided an example or insight on how he has taken a step down from his role and worked alongside a direct report or created a specific development plan via 1:1 sessions, etc with his reports. Seems like a "you do it" manager. The HR Manager was not onsite and I had to speak with her via Amazon Chime. Got a call the next week from the recruiting coordinator that I wasn't selected and that she could've provide feedback, which is weird because Amazon prides itself on being a "feedback rich environment." Frustrating experience since the recruiter found me and told me to apply for the position.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Raleigh, NC)

      Interview

      Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.

      Stamford, CT
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Stamford, CT)

      Interview

      Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Talked to 3 different people, all of whom were wearing old sweatshirts and not looking at the camera. As I was sitting on zoom in a suit jacket, did not feel at all a place I would be valued at.
