I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Singapore) in Jun 2017
Interview
It was a phone conference interview. The call was from Australia and the call was not very clear. I hardly can hear the interviewer and he is speaking soft. I had to keep repeat myself and also ask him to repeat his question. It was very frustrating for both. The technical question asked was stupid. As IT , I wont remember all the information like ports numbers, what does each protocol stand for. Everything can be find the internet and I know the what is it and what is used for.
They ask a lot of technical trivia questions that have nothing to do with the job. They like hearing stories about how you raised the bar and/or made your prior job better. Be familiar with the STAR method.
Panel interview with 4 people. One hour with each interviewer who will ask 2 to 4 questions based on leadership principles related to the job role you are applying for.
first starts with a phone screening.
then if they pass you on you would meet with three individuals for about an hour each. Some of them might be in the area you are applying others might just be a manager from a different ORG.
