I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Phone interview for about lasted for about 20 to 30 minutes. They asked a lot of questions about my background experiences and also a lot of behavioral questions. First I went through my past experience, and then the person asked me a lot of behavioral questions. How I would deal with a certain challenge, how to deal with people you work with, etc.. The person also, asked how much I knew about the job and the company and things I would be looking for out of a new opportunity.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you raised the bar and went above and beyond in a work project.
I got contacted by a recruiter and then one interview with the hiring manager! That was really it because they were rushing to place someone, super quick and took about 2 weeks total.
I only got through to the first stage, where my experience didn't quite match what they were looking for. The next stage was a meeting with someone from their Sales department, and then there is a take-home task, followed by review and further interviews with more senior staff.
