I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
First round is a phone screen with recruiter. Next you take an assessment. Then depending on your results you interview with the hiring manager for 45 minutes to an hour. Lastly, you have 4-5 interview loops with team members or key stakeholders. Ask primarily behavioral questions.

Interview
Long. Be prepared to answer every "tell me about a time when" question you can think of. Did not seem particularly relevant to the role I was interviewing for (Communications PM). Some interviewers were nice, one was outright hostile.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you challenged the status quo and what the positive outcome was.
6 round loop. Takes about 8 hours. One hour each interview, with 2 interviewers per block. Prep is key, no prep, no offer. The interviewer will ask about leadership principals and how they were applied to your qualifications. You will need to prepare 2 stories per leadership principal, and never reuse the same story twice. So 24 stories total.

the k terrier
process with a “gotcha” question to see if you think on your feet
