1. Application and Initial Screening:
Online Application: I submitted my resume and cover letter through Amazon’s career portal.
Initial Screening: After my application was shortlisted, I received a call from a recruiter for a preliminary screening. This conversation covered my background, experience, and interest in the role.
2. Phone Interviews:
First Phone Interview: This was with a recruiter or a member of the finance team. They asked questions about my resume, experience, and why I wanted to work at Amazon.
Second Phone Interview: This involved more technical questions related to finance, such as my understanding of financial statements, financial modeling, and analytical skills.
3. Assessment Test:
I was asked to complete an online assessment that tested my quantitative and analytical abilities. This included numerical reasoning, data interpretation, and basic math problems.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral Questions: Amazon places a strong emphasis on its Leadership Principles. I prepared to answer behavioral questions using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). For example, I described a time when I had to make a tough decision with limited information.
Technical Questions: These assessed my finance knowledge and problem-solving abilities. I answered questions about financial analysis, forecasting, budgeting, and possibly some case studies or business scenarios.
Role-Specific Questions: Depending on the team, I got questions specific to the business unit I was interviewing for. For example, if it was for AWS, I answered questions related to cloud computing economics.
Il processo di selezione è iniziato con uno screening con un recruiter HR, focalizzato su esperienza, motivazione e fit con il ruolo. Successivamente ho sostenuto un colloquio con due diversi manager, durante il quale sono state poste domande comportamentali, richiedendo l’utilizzo della metodologia STAR per strutturare le risposte. Le domande erano orientate a esperienze pratiche e gestione di situazioni reali.

Puoi inserirne una (o più di una, in versioni separate del form):
Mi è stato chiesto di descrivere una situazione in cui ho migliorato un processo nella mia precedente esperienza lavorativa, utilizzando la metodologia STAR.
Un’altra domanda riguardava la gestione di una situazione complessa con un fornitore e come ho affrontato e risolto il problema.
The whole process was quite smooth. First hr screening, then several interviews with team and my future colleagues. Eventually with the manager, who was very supportive and gave me plenty of tips
two rounds of interview, one with HR and one with two managers from the team. asked behavioural question, question related to my CV and its content and examples from my experiences based on Amazon leadership principles.
