      Senior Operations Manager Interview

      29 Jan 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hemel Hempstead, England
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Hemel Hempstead, England) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      As per the many glassdoor reviews: 1. Telephone by HR Manager 2. Telephone by a General Manager of a FC 3. Online test by SHL to test aptitude 3. Panel Interview of 4 individual 1:1 interviews lasting 45 minutes 4. Decision Again, as per the previous reviews use the STAR format of answering and the Amazon leadership principles. You need to have solid examples to back up your responses. No fluff, focus on the results and what you did to acheive them. All in all, the interview process was one of the most organised I have ever been involved in. The panel interview day was very intense and combined a tour of an FC, which was very insightful. The panel interview was a great experience and a great challenge, which I would definitely do again. I got a job offer about 1 week after the panel interview day. HOWEVER: - The process is very mechanical. This is very much a conveyor belt process. As mentioned, Amazon is a machine and the drive is to chrun out the managers and grab as many of them as they can. I gues this is well known. There is no real feeling of them wanting you - this doesn't really form part of their process. - The HR recruiter was awful. His communications were awful and would set up times to call but never call. This put me off the process big time. Very disappointing as everyone else that I had either met or interacted with were brilliant and were actually pulling me towards the company. - When I did eventually speak with the HR recruiter he gave me details of the offer which were VERY attractive, however scope of the work wasn't clear and kept changing. So I responded by saying I decline the position. I guess this wasn't a problem for them as never heard back from them and I guess back to the conveyor belt. Think this was a good decision as the cons would have outweighed the benefits for me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - Why Amazon? - Tell me about a time when you invented something? - Tell me about a time when you put a strategy together? - Cost savings projects? - Tell me about a time when you had to make a decision without data? The list goes on....search the many glassdoor interview reviews!!!

      Senior Manager, Operations Interview

      5 Jan 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Bengaluru
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)

      Interview

      For manager and above, once the recruitment team identifies a candidate, they are scheduled for interviews. Apart from a phone round, folks will typically go through 4-6 rounds of additional interview. It will help if candidates are able to structure their responses in SBI format bringing out strengths that align with Amazon leadership principles.
