I applied in-person. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2020
Interview
Behavioral questions following the STAR model, these are based on Amazon's leadership principles. The interview will be in a loop, meaning that you will have anywhere from 4 to 7 interviews depending on the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you took ownership of something outside of your area of responsibility? Tell me about a time when you asked 5 Why's to solve a problem?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2019
Interview
It was very rush and impersonal. One interviewer was literally doing her work while interviewing me and didn't even make eye contact "It's peak season, sorry". Next interview tried to intimidate me by asking "How many regulation sized golf balls can fit into a yellow school bus", then laughing at me. He then went on to spend at least 20 minutes complaining about the fast food workers near his home. It was pushy and weird and altogether unprofessional, and both interviewers seemed miserable.

Question 1
How many regulation-sized golf balls fit into a yellow school bus?
It was very smooth and as described. No surprises. I had a phone interview and two video interviews. Hiring decision was very quick and got a reply within 2 days.
