I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Irvine, CA) in Jul 2017
Interview
The interview questions were all aligned to see how the interviewer rates against Amazon's fourteen leadership values. Scenario style questions were asked and I was supposed to provide answers of how I would go about solving the specific problems. I appreciated how amazon was approaching hiring. What I did not appreciate was how the interview ended. At the end of the interview the last interviewer left and I was all alone in the room. The person who brought me to the interview and kicked off the process went home for the day (at 4:30) and I ended up having to call the front desk to get out get an escort out of the offices and get my ticket stamped. I don't think I have ever experienced this before. I like aspects of Amazon but people should be treated with respect.
