I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2016
Interview
very standard. connected first with an HR person for the team, phone screen with HR, then phone interview(s) with engineering team members and hiring manager. during the first interview, was asked about related experience, specifically about robotics. there weren't any behavioral questions asked, and while they were generally friendly, they seemed uninterested in experiences that weren't explicitly related, even if there were skills that could be translated
2 rounds - 1 with hiring manager, second a panel interview of 6 hours. Both were a great learning opportunity, and most of the questions were related to the leader principles followed at Amazon. The team members were also interested in knowing what I had done in my previous job and wee very patient in listening to a the technical details. Overall a great experience and learning opportunity
Screening round with hiring team - Phone interview - 1 hour - resume walk through, introduction, behavioral questions based on LP - technical questions based on JD - candidate questions
