I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in May 2016

Question 1
Q: What is the origin of your surname? Where are you from? (the recruiter/Head of Legal then proceeded to say that she tried looking it up but couldn't conclude where I was from)
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Arlington, VA) in May 2026
Interview
The first round interview consisted mostly of Q+A, while the second round provided a greater overlook of Job Specifics and two preliminary LP Questions. There is a prep meeting, individual call, and "candid chat" call before the third Loop interview, which lasts multiple hours.
