Amazon Corporate Development Interview
I have 1 year experience in M&A. I have received interview call for M&A, Corporate Development role at Amazon. I have searched internet for interview at Amazon. I encountered tons of content on Leadership Principles. What I am looking for is technical questions for Corp Dev role. Unfortunately I couldn't find much information. Can someone share their thoughts on following questions:
1. Is this a good opportunity to pursue?
2. What are the technical questions I should expect?
3. How are the hours for this role?
4. What would be potential exit opportunities?
Thanks in advance!
Can't speak to Amazon's Corp Dev but I know for a fact that Amazon's Corp Strategy + General Plan Manager roles (for MBA grads) are both brutal hours and have a generally toxic environment. A lot of internal competition with limited collaboration. Again, cant comment on Corp Dev but I would be interested as well
Didn't know Amazon had a central CS team. They use to just put their strategy people into the functional areas, IIRC.
I'm sorry, I think my initial post was misleading. From what I understand, you are right, I never worked there but a colleague of mine did and the feedback around extremely tough competition was from her firsthand.
Was it the position in Toronto? I live right next to their office, great location if you are a sports fan lol
OP - how as the Amazon Corp Dev interview process?
For me it was typical process - 2 technical rounds + 6 loop rounds (with last bar raiser round). Total 8 rounds. Whole process took around 2-3 months.
Technical interviews are based on your financial analysis and financial modeling knowledge. Moreover, they would specifically want to know your current role and your contributions. They would also ask questions on recent high profile M&A deals, both within and outside Amazon. You are expected to give independent view on those deals.
For loop rounds, there is abundant information on internet.
They love to dive deep into whatever you say you've worked on. If you worked on something but can't explain it in detail from top to bottom, or didn't own it enough to walk through it, don't bring it up.
Were the technical rounds difficult? The latest job post for senior analyst shows modeling test. Any insight on that?
Has anyone gotten any additional insights on this? I'm curious how different their process might be given their 'specific' type of interview process.
