I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cork) in Jan 2014
Interview
Two phone calls. One was brief - checking details, the second was a more senior member of the HR team and was about employment specifics.
The process also involved a practice writing task, and then an on-site interview process - which involved being interviewed (and asked similar questions) in four separate 30-minute interviews. Three of the interviewers were from the team I would join, and the fourth was from the HR / recruitment department.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All questions related to the company's leadership principles. Google them! You were asked to demonstrate how you demonstrated them i.e. when / how did you take ownership of a project and deliver it?
