I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Jul 2016
Interview
The initial interview was arranged by a graduate recruitment agency. A 30 minute telephone interview was booked which consisted of generic questions including why Amazon, what experience makes you right for the role. I was then invited to the London office for the most grilling interview I have ever had. It consisted of 3x 1hour30mins interview. By 3 different people. As you can imagine it is difficult to not repeat yourself when you are asked the same questions by each interviewer. I thought the process was very time consuming considering it was an entry level position.
Interview process was easy, asked basic interview questions. I had three separate interviews and was all the same questions. A lot of the questions were tell about a time questions.
Competency based questions also focused on the Amazon leadership principles, there are 2 interviewers one after the other to evaluate the candidate. The interview is really competency based and related to real work situations
