Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 3 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Slough, Berkshire, South East England, England) en sep 2014
Entrevista
Two 45 min phone interviews and half a day at Slough, four one hour interviews of which three were from people in a similar more senior role and one from a totally different part of Amazon. Also completed an online maths test, can't see the point of doing this at home, it should have been done in the office in my opinion as it could quite easily have been completed by someone else.
All questions were competency based STAR analogy which I thought got a good idea of my thought process and brought up several different business experiences. However in addition it would have made sense to directly ask me about my previous role and how I thought that qualified me for this, what would I change once in the new role etc.

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.
