I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Sept 2013
Interview
HR reached out via email and then had two 30-min telephonic interviews - mostly behavioral - 'tell me about a time' questions along with a couple situational case questions. Got an update the very next day about being selected for final round interviews at Seattle. Four back to back interviews, again mostly behavioral around previous work ex and a couple of pricing and amazon product related questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Cannot provide the exact question (NDA) but it was related to a product strategy for their ongoing product implementation in the international market
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.
