Me postulé en persona. El proceso tomó 6 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Slough, Berkshire, South East England, England) en feb 2012
Entrevista
9 Interviews...yep 7! 2 x Phone, 5 x team interviews, 1 x test and 1 x director interview.
Never talked about myself so much and it is draining, however I think it is one of the best experiences I have ever done. The interviews are really varied and allow you to cover off a lot of key aspects of career and your abilities.

What actions would you take in a conflict situation, and how have you previously dealt with the conflict
Screening call with recruiter, followed by 3 back-to-back interview loops. Interviews focused primarily on behavioral questions tied to Amazon Leadership Principles, along with an Excel assessment testing analytical and data manipulation skills.
The process was well-structured and followed Amazon’s typical interview format:
1. Recruiter Screening
* Initial discussion about experience, role scope, and expectations
* Basic behavioral and background questions
2. Hiring Manager Interview
* Focus on past experience, business impact, and ownership
* Mix of behavioral and situational questions
3. Interview Loop (3–5 interviews)
* Multiple interviewers covering different Amazon Leadership Principles
* Included a Bar Raiser interview
* Heavy focus on:
* Decision-making
* Trade-offs
* Metrics and impact
* Depth of ownership

Useless leadership principles framed in behavioral question. Tell me about a time when
You start with an online assessment, which is relatively easy. Then a recruiter reaches out to you if you pass and will ask standard hiring questions. After which, you will then have a phone screen interview and if you pass, you do an interview loop with 5 people. Which is insane for a role that does not pay 100K annually. They also make you go prepare 12-20 STAR stories that you should pretty much memorize.
