I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2017
Interview
The interview process involved two phone screens and a grueling on-site interview day with six people (five interviews, the last one with two people because an employee was receiving training on interviewing). The key to getting hired (for me, everyone's experience is different) was the level of support from the recruiter. Danielle Maximo made sure I was prepared and knew what to expect. She equipped me with enough information to not get caught by surprise by any of the questions and to understand what each interviewer was looking for.

Question 1
I won't post any specific questions because they don't matter. Everything revolves around the Leadership Principles. If you prep two work examples for each one of the principles, you'll get hired.

TOUGH! Know what you've done- not your team. Also, know metrics and the STAR format. PRACTICE. Be prepared for all types of behavior based questions for your experience.

Interview
3 rounds of phone interviews before doing one day of interviews at the Seattle HQ. The phone interviews were good and very pertinent to the job. The interviews at the HQ were eight 45 mins sessions. 4 were phone interviews to include my potential boss. the rest were 2 persons and me. these interviews were less technical and more about culture and personality. It was sad to do a job interview where i wouldn't even meet my boss and the culture was not a fit for me. It is not a traditional environment and they couldn't explain the business plan or structure. It is the jeans, t-shirts, and backpack culture as advertised.

Question 1
How would you launch a project without executive support and get support from other teams and resources allocated?
