I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2009
Interview
Applied for position in the AM, was contacted by HR in the PM. Set up phone call to happen in two days.
Person I talked to was a former Technical Program Manager, but had no experience with the actual position/group I was applying for.
Conversation was mostly development focused --what technology would you use, how (technically) would you address this situation.
They told me the call would be one hour and it was one hour.
Easy to talk to HR and this person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You have to support 5000 online stores. What technology would you use to support them?
My interview process began with an online assessment, followed by a panel loop of five consecutive interviews. The rounds focused heavily on the company's Leadership Principles using STAR-method behavioral questions, including a "Bar Raiser" to ensure candidates exceed the current team's average.

Question 1
All the questions were related to my previous experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Brisbane) in May 2026
Interview
I applied online. After about a week or two, a recruiter from Amazon phoned me and we spoke for about 45 minutes. He was very pleasant to speak to, we covered some basics around the role and its expectations, and he laid out the next steps in the interview process, including the STAR method. The second step was a line manager interview where he focused on details of past projects and lessons / outcomes. The next step (which I didn't make it to) would have consisted of several interviewers asking different types of questions, and at this stage you don't need to satisfy each interviewer. I presume after this they give you a result. Much of what is documented online aligns with my experiences.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to resolve conflict.
Applied, Recruiter Screen then nothing. Not sure when I'll get a call back. The process seems super complicated. Will apply again now that I know what they are looking for.
