The process began with an email from the recruiter, confirming my interest in the position and answering basic questions about my current job search status, location, and compensation requirements. The recruiter then scheduled a call to go over what I had shared and to discuss the specific role and team in more detail.

The recruiter mentioned she had already shared my resume with the hiring manager and wanted to schedule me for a phone screen, which was a video interview. The questions were more focused on skills and function as opposed to behavioral, though there were some behavioral questions included.

I heard relatively quickly that I was moving forward to the loop and got that scheduled relatively quickly after the phone screen. I did receive another offer during this time, and I let Amazon know. They were extremely accommodating to keep to a timeline with respect to the other company.

The loop was scheduled just over a week after the screening call, and I had five interviews over two days. Every person I interviewed with was FANTASTIC. They were all personable, kind, and genuinely wanted me to succeed. You must absolutely be prepared with many examples of how you behaved in work scenarios and focus on how you handled situations, not your collective team or company. I had spent a lot of time preparing for this interview and was still nervous about some of my responses. Preparation is key for this interview process.

In the end, I was offered the role and happily accepted. The entire process was handled efficiently, and every person I encountered (recruiter, scheduling team, interviewers, and the recruiter who handled offers) was truly kind and a pleasure to work with. I was shocked at how quick and responsive everyone was, considering the size of the company. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I am thrilled to be joining the team.
