I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2015
Interview
Pretty neat, recruiter reached out via recruitment coordinator. scheduled 2 phone screenings. and post that an onsite interview for 5 rounds. I liked the fact that they were pretty responsive to any questions. one thing that i had an issue with was that they didnt choose to share the feedback.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2014
Interview
I interviewed with six people. Each had an amazon leadership principle or two to probe me on. Interviews are behavioral, include a "MIQ" (most important question) style question, so prepare examples thoroughly. Typical questions will focus around providing an example of a time when you xxx - i.e. a time when you simplified something complex, went above and beyond for a customer, etc. Prepare your examples well, and don't try to make things up: they're very easy to spot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about the accomplishment you're most proud of, and why
two phone screens followed by onsite. All the questions were behavior focussed and were based on your prior expreiences. The interview was very well coordinated and the hiring manager takes you for a lunch interview.
