Amazon Interview

Anonymous
So I am going through the loop process now. They have me scheduled over 3 days with a total of 5 x 1 hour interviews. This is crazy!

That is how it works, yes.

It's be a rinse and repeat through all 5 interviews.

Their interviews are brutal IMO. I wouldn’t interview again unless I were able to commit several hours to preparing STAR answers to dozens of different behavioral questions.

I have interviewed with 2 defense contractors and GE Power (commercial company) recently - all 3 did the same thing. All 3 asked the same types of "situational" questions. Amazon is not special or unusual.

I can attest to this. You can use the same answers for most of the interviews.

+1 to rinse and repeat, but they told me I'd have to to have a different answer for each iteration of the question.

Different people - how would they know?? My DH didn't and he works there.

Ditto. Don't most companies do this in 2022?
I just interviewed for a start-up and had 8 rounds of interviews.

How does one know if the loop interview went well? I had two yesterday and both ended about 40 minutes in as the interviewers had no more questions.

Why do employers do this to themselves and candidates? Are these behavioral situation interviews really that effective, especially answering the same questions on repeat over and over? I’m seeing it in the government and non-profit sector too. Personally, I can’t stand them!!

6 for me, back to back. I love my job so it was worth it, but I was exhausted and tired of hearing my own voice afterwards.
