Very professional, prompt HR, very helpful recruiters
I have been advised prior to the interview that I should read Amazon leadership principles. I have been provided with a link to their website
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Minneapolis, MN) in Nov 2019
Interview
The process is multi-fold. Three to five rounds of interviews beyond the initial Talent Acquisition team member. The interviewers prescribe it to be conversational, but they really want quantitative data-driven facts, in line with the company's 14 principles..

Question 1
Describe a time when you experienced a challenging relationship with your supervisor.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2018
Interview
The interview follows the process suggested by Amazon HR reps pretty closely. An HR rep scheduled a quick interview call with me. Then a call was scheduled with a current Operations Manager. This call consists of behavioral questions designed to tease out STAR stories that incorporate Amazon's principles. There is also a math exercise. After this, I was brought on-site to interview with a Senior Operations Manager, 2 Site Leaders, and an HR rep. There were a ton of candidates and you could tell the interviewers were tired of interviewing folks. The HR rep got irritated with me at one point because I left out some of the background in my STAR story. When I asked if I could go back, she was visibly frustrated with me. I walked away thinking I was not a great fit for that environment, and I did not get an offer.
