I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Washington, DC) in Oct 2017
Interview
I had an recorded video interview by HireVue. I can't say that interview is hard but you are feeling strange like you are talking with your self. I think it was great experience and I'm going to continue applying for Amazon positions to get a job.
They ask a lot of technical trivia questions that have nothing to do with the job. They like hearing stories about how you raised the bar and/or made your prior job better. Be familiar with the STAR method.
Panel interview with 4 people. One hour with each interviewer who will ask 2 to 4 questions based on leadership principles related to the job role you are applying for.
first starts with a phone screening.
then if they pass you on you would meet with three individuals for about an hour each. Some of them might be in the area you are applying others might just be a manager from a different ORG.
