I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2021
Interview
The first phone interview was fine, it was straightforward enough and not too difficult.
The second “on-site” interview was virtual, and is made up of 6 hours of an interview. It was very intense.
To be fair, there are no trick questions, but they do require a big commitment from you even for an interview. In my opinion any company that is as demanding as this during the interview stage is going to be extremely demanding as an employer.
It took almost 3 weeks for anyone from Amazon to follow up after the interview.
