I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter for an initial phone screen and then asked to do a video recorded extemporaneous-speaking type "interview" where I was provided with potential questions ahead of time and then a selection of the questions were randomly flashed on the screen and I had to record my answer. After that, I was asked to travel to their Seattle, WA headquarters for an on-site interview with their Kindle Sales team. What a horrible experience! I was initially excited to be interviewing for such a reputable company but after meeting with their hiring manager I was extremely put off. I was led into a windowless room and interviewed by 2 men, one of whom spent the entire interview typing away at his laptop and didn't say a single word to me. It seemed like some sort of intimidation tactic. Only the one guy, the hiring manager, spoke to me and didn't really seem interested in getting to know me as a person. Only fired off questions that he wanted to ask. It was very one-directional and made me feel like I was being interrogated. After the interview I felt really demoralized. It was the most unpleasant interview I've ever been a part of! I heard back from there weeks after that they declined to move forward with me but I shed no tears over that for sure! After that experience, would never want to work here.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Makurdi, Benue) in Aug 2018
Interview
Easy and precise. May get you off guard if you aren't well prepared using their leadership principles in relation to your work experience. Plus, you must apply their STAR approach to answering questions like I outlined below. Be well organized and confident because the interview starts right from your composure.
