      Corporate Counsel Interview

      Jul 12, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Ciudad de México
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Ciudad de México) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      The interview process was disorganized, to say the least, having several different members of the recruiting team jumping at different moments with a different set of instructions. I had first a phone interview with a member of the Legal Recruiting team. Nothing special there, I run down my CV and did not receive questions to evidence my experience. I was then informed that I would be required to complete a written assignment and a phone interview with the Hiring Manager. The Written assignment was not complicated, at least I believe it would not be for any corporate attorney with experience. The sour note came in the interview with the Hiring Manager. The interview felt superficial, the Manager had little interest in my personal background, she acted as if she was doing me a favor simply because she was interviewing me for Amazon (Note that I was referred by an Amazon employee to the position and I was personally not looking for the job at the moment but decided to go forward as it is always attractive to have any prospective career options), she disregarded the field of law in which I have been working for the past few years (aviation) by saying “you don’t know what dynamic is, your industry does not compare to what we do at Amazon” (rude and uncalled for), she was bluntly “unamused” by the experience I showed (M&A, Competition proceedings, regulatory, corporate, IP, etc.), she did not care nor intended to know me personally to determine if I was a good fit for the position, and at the end, when she gaved me 10 minutes to ask questions, it came across as if she was troubled by my questions, “What is the normal career path for someone who is in this position in Amazon? Is there a likelihood of moving through the different industries within Amazon?”, she definitely did not like this question, and answered something in the lines of “we want someone that’s here for the lung rune”, I also asked her about amazon prime air and said that I would love to be able to participate in that project whenever possible, to what she coldly answered “Prime Air does not serve our country”. All in all, I believe I had the credentials and experience for the role, my performance in the interview was not bad, yet I think it all came down to a “lack of feeling” with the HM. Ultimately, I was told that they would not continue with my candidacy and gave NO CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK NOR ANY FEEDBACK FOR THAT MATTER EVEN AFTER I KINDLY ASK FOR IT TO WORK IN MY AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY. Ultimately, I have to say enjoyed my personal preparation for the Interview, learning the history of Amazon and reading of its accomplishments is breathtaking. Undoubtedly, the leadership of JB is inspiring.

      Corporate Counsel Interview

      Apr 30, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2025

      Interview

      Applied for multiple roles and got referred, rejected without personal contact. Then was contacted by a recruiter for more general role of corporate counsel. Working with the recruiter was pleasant, but scheduling the second phone interview was a hassle, and the phone interview itself felt like a test of the Amazon interview skills rather than actual skills needed for the job. Did not feel a connection to the interviewer and was rejected in an auto email about a day later.

      Interview

      Lengthy process, a lot of time wasted. They make you believe that you are a suitable candidate and after a round of interviews, one written assessment, and a final 5 hour interview with 5 different attorneys they take more than two weeks to tell they cannot give you an offer and they cannot provide feedback.

      Corporate Counsel Interview

      Jun 2, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      I applied online for an Amazon Corporate Counsel role, and about two weeks later a recruiter reached out to schedule an initial phone screen. The recruiter asked general background questions about my experience, where I was admitted to practice, geographic preferences, and what type of legal work I was most interested in. Based on that conversation, they determined I would likely be a fit for the “generalist” corporate counsel pipeline rather than a specific posted role. I was then scheduled for an interview with a senior member of Amazon’s legal team who was not tied to any particular business unit or opening. Prior to the interview, I had to complete a writing exercise. The interview itself was fairly comprehensive. It included: * questions about my resume and prior experience; * why I was interested in Amazon; * substantive and hypothetical legal questions testing legal judgment and analysis; and * scenario-based behavioral questions. About two weeks later, I heard that I had passed that round and would move forward in the process. At that point, I was told they needed to match me with a specific team/business group before proceeding further. After that, communication became less consistent. I followed up a few times over the following months. Initially, recruiting responded that they were still trying to identify the right team fit and asked me to be patient. Eventually, though, the responses stopped and I never ended up being matched with a team or advancing further in the process. Interview wasn’t “difficult”, just a lot of prep, without actual possibility of there being a match.
