Amazon Interviews Employee Reviews
What did you like most about the interview process?
What I appreciated most about the interview process was its clarity and structure. The questions were purposeful, the feedback was timely, and each stage felt respectful and transparent. It made me confident about the role and excited to join the team.

The inability to change the job function, time or other HR practices that could affect the entire job.

Stop asking me questions about my company. This is about hello fresh being a piece of shit
Review from Product Dept
the opportunity to meet so many people
It was smooth and encouraging
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
The problem is that there are gaping holes in the current process that allows Sr Leaders to bypass the bar raiser mechanisms that are in place to prevent bad hiring. In some cases, the bad leaders have become bar raisers themselves allowing them to backdoor their incompetent pals into the company.
Streamline the interview process by reducing interview rounds
Our bar is lowering, and less qualified interviewers are starting to bleed into decision making. I'm seeing fewer bar raisers actually bar raise and I can't think of the last time one actually used the veto power to say no when others were inclined.
Process is too long, not effective, it seems you are enteri g nasa
Allow fair salary negotiation when hiring.
They need to train us the correct and proper way for everything they will put us on
Review from Operations Dept
shorten the feedback process to save weeks of waiting
Review from Sales Dept
Less interviews. And the technical interview is not a good measure of someone's ability to do the job. At no point do I find myself under pressure to build something eith someone watching over my shoulder. And never do i have to build my code right on the first try without the ability to test.
Review from Operations Dept
Make it faster. From recruiter to 1st day was 4 months.
Focus on all of tyw leadership principles, not just frugality and bias for action.
an ACTUAL interview. They dont care who you are, if you have a pulse and no criminal background your hired because they have a 150% turnaround rate.
Review from Operations Dept
Orientation could be way better
How about having an interview process. Applied online, given a date/ time to show up for id card photo. That was it
Probably need to screen candidates better before interviewing them.
I would instruct recruiters to be more honest, and to really know the descriptions of the jobs they are filling.
very long process with too many steps and I still have no idea what the salary was
Review from Operations Dept
The screening of the applications for internal positions is unfair and the chances of promo is very slim. They transfer you to departments wuthout asking you if you feel comfortable with it. No extra compensation is providedYou have to prepare your answers on their motto's. Positions come up rarely.
More in touch contact letting you know what's going on, less wait between interview urine and start date. I took a test and didn't begin till about a month later. The whole process took almost 2 months start to end (start date) that's the longest process I've ever had in my job history til this date
Filter out all the duplicative & erroneous communications
Review from Customer Support Dept
Amazon needs better screening of its potential employees.
