I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Oxford, England) in Apr 2018
Interview
Very hard. Barraiser was almost a hellraiser. Asked tough questions and had series of follow up questions. If you get a barraiser you are pretty much doomed. Be prepared to go in details about your resume and responsibilities, results etc.
It was straightforward and structured. Length process with multiple rounds. It was critical to use STAR method metions specifics/ data where necessary. Behavioral round was straightforward. Leverage leadership principles and build your stories around that
Well structured multi-stage process. Interviews is intensive and structured to the Amazon Principles and STAR format. The expectation is to be detailed and provide clear examples, metrics and how you would do things differently.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
For manager and above, once the recruitment team identifies a candidate, they are scheduled for interviews. Apart from a phone round, folks will typically go through 4-6 rounds of additional interview. It will help if candidates are able to structure their responses in SBI format bringing out strengths that align with Amazon leadership principles.
