I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I had 2 phone screens followed by onsite interviews. I did poorly on my first phone screen but did a great job on my second technical one. The onsite interviews were long from around 9AM to 5PM. I had 6 interviews including a lunch one. One interviewer was delayed, so I had a little break in the middle. The questions were mostly behavioral. The only snag was that my recruiter didn't show up for the last interview slot, so I waited endlessly before they let me go. Overall I enjoyed talking to all of the interviewers and connected with most of then easily. The day felt more like a chat, getting to know future colleagues, rather than an inquisition.
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.
