I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2014
Interview
Two Phone Screens, White Paper sample, 7 person loop. Individual interviewers sequentially organized through a full day of on-site interview rounds. Interviewers used STAR format and provided insights about the company, assessed fit for the current role, as well as long term with Amazon. Each interview was 45 minutes in length, centering around Amazon's leadership principles.

Other Finance Manager interview reviews for Amazon
Moves very fast and the recruiter/panel is quick to respond. No new questions, everything from LPs. They also want to know about an AI project and a few financial models you built
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
Cinco etapas de entrevista. Precisa reservar tempo pra assistir explicação sobre o processo de entrevistas. Impessoal, pouca informacao sobre a vaga e baseado em tecnicas de comunicação. Usam sistema próprio que não funciona direito (mencionado pelo rh que costuma apresentar alguns problemas) e recrutador de mal humor.
Applied online
Recieved an online assessment which included video responses
