I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Oct 2020
Interview
They use the STAR method which isn't anything new and they do send you documents to help you prepare. That being said, the folks who were actually interviewing me were unprepared, mundane, and didn't even seem to know anything about the job or team. Not sure how that's relevant considering Amazon is a huge company with varying cultures depending on each team and pillar...I had several interviews and ended up calling it because it was so much time an effort I was putting in while getting very little out of the interview. Suggestion to Amazon is provide candidates with individuals who can speak to the basics of the role and responsibility, people with personality would be ideal...
You need to engage candidates as much as they need to wow you.

Question 1
"Tell me a time when..."
I had at least 10 questions in a row starting with this. Pretty awful.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
O processo é super fluído e rápido. Inicia-se com um phone screen para entendimento de adequação cultural e requisitos básicos da role. Após isso passa para um loop com 4 ou 5 entrevistadores onde no geral se pedem cases ligados ao principios da Amazon. Após essa fase já existe um comitê decidindo pela offer ou não.
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.

Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
