I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Irvine, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me - possibly based on my LinkedIn profile. Talked to me for about 45 mins via phone. Followed by email from recruiting coordinator to setup in person call with hiring manager. I thought the call went fantastic, but got an email saying they are going with other people. And they could not provide more details on why the decision was made due to legal issues.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None really. Several posts on Glassdoor provide the questions - describe most difficult decision, talk about Amazon values, working with teams etc
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
