Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself and background. Tell me about a time where you had to dig multiple levels to find the root cause. How did you convince the people to cooperate with you. Tell me about a time when the whole group was against you and what did you do. Did you get into heated debate at any point, how did you handle that.
Tell me about a situation where you took a big risk and did something outside of your scope. What was the reaction of audience when you disclosed the bad news. Tell me of a time when you took a decision on your own without having to inform your authorities. Tell me about a time where you had to quickly glance through project and make a decision.
Case: Amazon Prime with $35 minimum spend has one deal for $8 to deliver within 1 hour and second deal for free to deliver within 2 hours. How do you analyze the strategy and make any changes if required.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Mailand) in Jun 2015
Interview
The interviewer asked me on my current job and my role, he tested my English (I'm Italian mother tongue) and switched soon to the leadership principles.
The interview is not focused much on technical skills, I can't rate the overall experience as a negative one since I know amazon focuses interviews on leadership principles but not everything maps on their principle.
