The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2010
Interview
I received an email from HR saying they were interested in setting up a phone interview with a team member. I ended up doing 2 phone interviews with team members. The interviews went well. A week later, I did not hear from them and sent a follow up email. Within minutes I received an email asking me to come in for in-person interviews. The overall interviews went well. The slow was good, At the first interview, I was told to let people know if asked questions repeatedly. Funny enough, I was asked several questions over and over and when I mentioned that I had already answered , they asked me to proceed and answer again. Sets up an awkward conversation. Hind sight, I would not have said anything and just answered the question. Most of the people were nice. Some were full of themselves, almost condesending at times. One interviewer was just nasty. Did not smile once, Acted like she did not want to be there and did not want me to be there. I would have worked closely with here so probably a good thing they did not select me. HR called the next day and said they would not be moving forward. The only thing about this is that she was rude about it. Funnt because she was really nice the day before. Amazon does not share any feed back so I have no idea why I was not selected. This is a horrible policy!!

Question 1
What would I do to iimprove the exposure of product X
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2026
Interview
Very positive experience. The down side was there were 6 rounds of interviews in total but they were scheduled close together. Communication was excellent and a huge amount of helpful resources provided to you to help you prepare.
Phone interview. Asked 4 typical question. The Amazon phone interview was structured and focused on behavioral questions using the STAR method. The interviewer was professional, asking about leadership principles, past challenges, and decision-making. It felt fast-paced yet conversational. I shared clear examples from my experience, highlighted results, and ended confident I demonstrated impact and fit.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you took ownership of a project.
Describe a situation where you disagreed with a teammate or manager.
Give an example of when you delivered results under tight deadlines.
It was a long but a well designed one. There are tips online that one should go over before the interview process. It can take more than one month to complete the steps, so one should be patient while taking all the tests and other stuff.
