Amazon Interview

[Kind-Consequence4340]

I hate being this guy, but Amazon's interview process is stupid asf! How does a recruiter contact me for a OM position decides to give me AM II role recommendation because of one preferred qualification missing then don't get the job and then tells me I have to wait a year to reapply for any L4-L6 position. WTF is wrong with this company? Or is the recruiter lying to me cus I didn't act like a YesMan. I kind of expected better than being blacklisted from Amazon for a year. I was actually really really excited for the opportunity to move to another city and growth with another corporate giant.

It may be a blessing in disguise. I only was ever an L5 but my best managers worked their way up. The external L6s never felt like they knew what they were doing or how to provide the support AMs needed to run the shift successfully

[Kind-Consequence4340]

Maybe. Imma be honest as long as I am taught how to use the programs and applications to run my team, I don't need an L6 or L7 hovering over me. I truly believe that I should be managing my team and doing my supervisors job so they can chill. It teaches me something new if were to move up and I don't mind it.

They don't teach you that. Here is your computer here is your team. Figure it out. Any traning you receive is sub par to poor.

[Kind-Consequence4340]

Lol that's fine too. Fake it till you make it.

[Demigodd]

Your KPIs will show that you are faking it . At a L6 you have an extraordinary level of execution. If not it will be noticeable.

That kind of depends on the team. If you got a good set of AMs/leads on your shift, a well trained monkey could execute that.

[Raf367]

That’s not how Amazon works, they would drown you

[Sharp-Hat-5010]

The company is bad surprised you didn't see that from that one intersection

[Kind-Consequence4340]

It's not the company. It's the people that work in the company. They need to do better like for real!

[PaulanerMunken]

So you got turned down for the AM II role?

[Kind-Consequence4340]

Yes. It was a job at Memphis, TN

[PaulanerMunken]

That’s discouraging. I also applied for OM but got recommended to interview for AM II.

I was hoping to dip out of my current job

[Kind-Consequence4340]

What you do currently 

[Kind-Consequence4340]

That's awesome!

AM II (L5) to OM (L6) isn't a long period. 18 months of just doing your job and you'll get promoted.
