They started with a review of my work history, then asked what drew me to Amazon, then a series of STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) questions mapping to the Amazon leadership principles. My advice is to review the Leadership Principles (found here: https://www.aboutamazon.com/about-us/leadership-principles ) and determine which are most relevant to the role you're interviewing for. Then write out STAR structured answers to "Tell me about a time when..." (you overcame a communication challenge at work, disagreed with a supervisor, helped mediate a dispute between people you manage, etc..) using those Leadership principles as a core theme.
They asked me to choose answers based on work-related scenarios
Why do you think you are a better fit for this role?
No real difficult questions, just be yourself
how would you handle a difficult customer
I'm guessing this was a screening interview. The interview questions were entirely about my previous work / projects and how I contributed to them. Additionally they asked me about my career goals and why I want to work at PlayStation.
What games did you play? Have you even been to gaming culture festivals? What hardware do you use? If you had as much money as you need, what hardware would you choose for a perfect gaming PC? What types of testing do you know? What would you do if lead asks you to throw a grenade at a wall 3.000 times? There is a level: you enter the room through a door, loot the chest and leave the room through the window; in 10 seconds after you enter the room guards come and kill you if you're still there; how would you test that level? During smoke test you have 5 NPCs that give you quests consequently; you can't complete 1st quest and accept next quest because of bug but complete it through terminal and then everything goes OK; is the test passed or failed? What tasks did you complete while studying? What problems have you met? Describe a situation when you used your initiative to solve a problem. Do you have teamwork experience? Are you familiar with feedback culture? Comment: I suppose that English is the most important skill to apply for QC job. Please ask HR to check your English if you have ~Intermediate. Upper-Intermediate spoken English is required but I think you can still pass with Intermediate if you don't tell your level and ask to check it during HR call or interview.
My favourite games. Ubisoft games I played and liked and questions related to them from QA field. Genres I like and dont like. My dream PC at the moment. PC vs consoles. Hardware things like "what is better - more threads or more ghz" (I didnt know that part) Working in a team - imaginary situations.
