I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2021
Interview
Standard loop process, completed within 2 days. 6 interviews of an hour each. Cordial and not stressful. Overall experience was good. Most questions were behavioral and not related to my domain. There was brief talk about my expertise but that was it.
Very process oriented.
STAR method required for responses
Formulaic in nature
Loop process with at least 5 different interviewers
Be able to refer to leadership principles
Make sure to give answers that go beyond just the result
Quick communication, but they seemed a bit unclear on what they were looking for in the position and the interviewers were a little disjointed. The recruiters were very pleasant to deal with.
Usual Amazon interview of 5 different sub interviews. Conducted via Amazon Chime - all interviews virtual. Occurred over a period of approximately 2 weeks due to scheduling issues. Nothing out of the ordinary and all interviewers very pleasant and engaging.
