I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2024
Interview
It was actually not too bad. They mostly asked behavioral questions and if you actually take a second to process, you can usually tell which leadership principle they want you to answer. They asked a lot of follow up questions so make sure your story is real or at least prepare hard enough for it. Also prepare to back up your answers with data and metrics. They also expect you to answer based on your years and amount of experience.
It started off with a recruiter call, then a call with the hiring manager, then a call with other people and the bar raiser.

It was 5 round interview with 5 people ack to back. I was asked questions based on the Amazon's LP. It was smooth even though i was not selected. They have put a ban for 6 months, will try again after 6months next year.

Interview
O processo é super fluído e rápido. Inicia-se com um phone screen para entendimento de adequação cultural e requisitos básicos da role. Após isso passa para um loop com 4 ou 5 entrevistadores onde no geral se pedem cases ligados ao principios da Amazon. Após essa fase já existe um comitê decidindo pela offer ou não.
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.
