I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2015
Interview
Not sure how they sourced my resume, I was called by the Amazon's HR and after a short discussion they said they will arrange interview with the person who is part of the Hiring Team. (Yes, In Amazon, they have a team which interviews candidates for like 8 rounds or so and in the end they make a final decision collectively) The hiring process is painfully slow.

Question 1
For PMs, there is nothing like a difficult question, everything was situational. Surprising thing is, they didn't ask a single question about Retail, eCommerce or Amazon!
First I passed the assessment its not an easy one, next step is phone screen 1 hour interview, my recruiter shared helpful information; connect 12 LP's to your work examples using a STAR method, 2-3 examples per LP.
Process was relatively straight forward, I didn’t make it to the loop. What I can tell you is the recruiter will be overly excited about you as they are with all candidates. They’ll tell you, you can expect to hear back in two days for feedback. Truth is, if they reject you then you will not hear back within 2 days it will be more like a week. Silence means you aren’t getting the job, they’re very binary.

When did you make a choice no one asked you for? Why?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxembourg)
Interview
Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months
