Excessively repetitive and not really useful "Tell me about a time when you succeeded/failed/argued, etc." type questions based on Amazon's 13 leadership principles. This is an awful method for interviewing - the answers beg for unverifiable embellishment if not out-n-out lying = favor the BS artists. Only one of the 6 during the onsite delved into tech in any meaningful manner (and he was outside the group and industry, so he had no context with which to judge what I was saying). At no stage of the process was I asked to solve any sort of technical problem. Also, be prepared for all interviewers to hammer away on their laptops as you answer (rude, distracting and unprofessional).
