I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego, CA) in Sep 2016
Interview
It was very casual. I was emailed to set up an interview about 2 weeks before the interview date. I was flown out to San Diego and they put me up in a nice hotel. The interview itself was 2 x 1 on 1 interviews with basic STAR questions (name a time you improved a process, etc.) and questions where they wanted to know what you would do in a given situation. The whole interview took less than 2 hours.
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Stamford, CT)
Interview
Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Talked to 3 different people, all of whom were wearing old sweatshirts and not looking at the camera. As I was sitting on zoom in a suit jacket, did not feel at all a place I would be valued at.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Conflict between coworkers, how would you approach resolving?
All virtual. STAR interview questions (situation task action result). Think of examples of tough situations you had to deal with. I think I had 2 or 3 interviews before I got an offer. Pretty smooth process overall.
