I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
A 6 hour long interview, interviewed by 5 various interviewers asking behavioral interviews for an hour each. With an escorted lunch and escorted bathroom breaks.
In summary the first 3 interviews were fine, but by the 4th interview you are quite tired of talking about the same examples and battle to find some new content to talk about. They kept the reporting manager for the final interview. At that stage my brain was exhausted and I struggled to answer 1 questions.
I felt like they were looking for 100 perfect and I was not able to find an answer to the final question that suited 'their use of language' - As a very experienced recruiter myself, I know this is where I fell short and was rather disappointed.
Interesting interview, the interviewer took the time to share more about the role, challenges, team. Explained their methods and the profile they are hiring for, as well as the process stages

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
It was tough. You've got to know your numbers and how you impacted change directly. Also need a lot of examples because you meet so many people. They compare notes afterwards and will notice if you've used the same examples. Hard to do because a lot of questions overlap.
