I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2012
Interview
Initial intervew was approximately 1/2 hour by a recruiter. The recruiter got back to me within a week and then scheduled a day of 6 interviews including the hiring manager and others from a variety of teams. It was a very well-organized and professional process. I enjoyed meeting the various team members who were all energetic and seemed trained in interviewing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you had a more junior person report to you that you believe had more potential than you? If so, how did you help them to develop.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2013
Interview
Was invited for a telephone interview after being referred by an employee. The 45-min interview was largely competency based and it seemed the interviewer was given a long form to fill out within the time rather than conduct a conversation. The interviewer fired a torrid of questions without caring to dwell on the responses.
