I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Starts with a phone screen (sometimes more than one). If you pass that, then you have an in-person interview "loop" with several interviewers. You are also required to submit a writing sample, which is reviewed and provided to the interviewers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Amazon asks experiential questions (tell me about a time...) involving their leadership principles.
