I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2014
Interview
2 phone interviews and then onsite interview with 7 people...overall process was slow, start to finish approx 10 weeks. First a recruiter reached out via email then another person from HR sent email to schedule a phone interview...again with next phone interview, then few weeks later onsite interview.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
I had one phone screen where the questions were straight forward concerning your professional background. I also had a second phone interview. It lasted about 1 hour. Must be able to walk the interviewer through your resume but without reading it (they have already read it!) Prepare something unique or insightful about "your story" from your resume. The third part would have been an in-person all day interview in Seattle. Unfortunately, I did not go because of a conflict with my master's program which I had to finish first :(
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interviewer asked several questions that would set you up to use one of the leadership principles. For example, if Puma now required a higher MAD for the same product, what would you do as the vendor manager?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I had 3 phone screens and then a all day interview on-site. Truthfully, the overall experience was a positive but parts of it could've been better. I met some very bright, articulate, and analytical people on the on-site interview which would've been nice to be teammates with. I also met some who gave off the impression that they did not want to be in the interview process. Overall, I think I did okay but I recognize I could've done better as it was my first interview in 7-8 years. One thing I will say is that it's a very tough interview so prepare yourself mentally for a long day and make sure you articulate yourself well backed up by facts and processes.
