I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2016
Interview
From the beginning the scheduling of interviews was smooth.
Once I had been contacted by the recruiter with interest the coordinator reached out to gather availability. The phone interview was scheduled promptly and ended successfully. Within two weeks the onsite was scheduled. For those who need to travel for the interview they work closely with the travel team and coordinate accommodations. Everything went smoothly and have ZERO complaints.

4 rounds of interviews that can be split into two days or one consisting of Amazon LP’s and behavioral questions. Star format is huge and don’t repeat example or answers

Straight to the point. Interviewer has been with Amazon for quite sometime. It baffles me how some Recruiters get jobs at these companies. As a recruiter I could tell right off the bat the interview would end poorly based off the Recruiters tone when he joined.
