I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2017
Interview
I was approached through LinkedIn for an interview as they were doing a hiring event in my City (I am not US based).
This was followed by some negotiation for finding a time for a phone interview (time differences are always a challenge).
The actual phone interview went very well and at the end she said that she would like to send me some written questions and she needed my email address. I opted to email her so she could email me back - been a couple of weeks now with total radio silence. Not sure if this is just the way they do things or if I should take a hint. Either way I have attempted a few follow ups and have been left in the dark.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Unsurprisingly they asked for examples of where I used data to make a decision. Also a lot of customer focused questions.
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
