I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2010
Interview
Very professional. HR personnel and the interview set up the interview well and conducted it in friendly cooperative manner. Was surprised not to get further interviews, since the phone interview stated clearly he was sure I would be contacted again. In the end, did not get another call for interview. Did receive final notice by email that I was no longer being considered. Mystified by the hiring decisions made, but not disgruntled by the experience. All contacts were professional as was follow up.
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.
