I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Calgary, AB) in Dec 2016
Interview
Amazon Web Services seeking to hire Sr. Account Executive in start up territory that placed an unusually high emphasis on technical selling as opposed to the business acumen, executive relationships and consultative solutioning that will be required to excel and be successful in this role.
Lots of preparation needed but good for self reflection. Required to take a test and have multiple screenings before loop interview. STAR method advised when answering questions and lots of preparation tools given ahead of loop.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Four one hour interviews back to back. Questions about their leadership principles in each one. Quite disorganized, as the interviewers didn’t know what role I was interviewing for. Some awkward interviewers but the second half of them were much better. One interview with two people, one of them qualifying to become an interviewer.
Phone interview with 2 members of the team hiring for the role. First 10 minutes of the call they were describing the role and it was significantly different than how it was defined in the job description.
