I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
There were 2 round each was virtual. In each round I had two separate interviews. The interviews consisted primarily of behavioral questions in the first round with a deep emphasis on my background. In the second round I interviewed directly with PMs in different areas. These interviews were about half background/behavioral and half case. The cases were specific to the group of the person I was interviewing with, which made me believe they were seeing how I think if they wanted to take me into their specific group.

Question 1
Please discuss one failure of reaching a metric in the past two years and why?
First I passed the assessment its not an easy one, next step is phone screen 1 hour interview, my recruiter shared helpful information; connect 12 LP's to your work examples using a STAR method, 2-3 examples per LP.
Process was relatively straight forward, I didn’t make it to the loop. What I can tell you is the recruiter will be overly excited about you as they are with all candidates. They’ll tell you, you can expect to hear back in two days for feedback. Truth is, if they reject you then you will not hear back within 2 days it will be more like a week. Silence means you aren’t getting the job, they’re very binary.

Question 1
When did you make a choice no one asked you for? Why?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxemburgo)
Interview
Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months
