I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Flew to Seattle for the in-person interview after two phone interviews. I studied for hours the behavior interviewing questions online (googled) and matched with stories of my past. I expected some normal traditional interviewing, but that didn't happen. It was one of the most draining processes I've endured in years. They ask a NDA to be signed so no specifics can be discussed. My advice to you is to make sure you understand the core principles backwards and forwards. Also, make sure you dress cool. I made a mistake by dressing up. Read all of the Glassdoor interviews. Not just for this position, but any for management or specialized positions. I thought 99% I had the position, but was turned down. Everybody was really nice. The facility is amazing. The company is top-notch. They're just very niche in how they do things.

Question 1
Behavioral questions you can easily find on the internet pertaining to the Amazon leadership principles.
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.
