I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2010
Interview
Had one interview with the Kindle manager. He gave a backgrond about him and asked me to talk about myself. Based on what I spoke about my strengths and passions he asked me for my areas of imporovemnets which I feel I can do better. It was all situational questions - there is no right or wrong answer, it all depends on how you present it with data points.

How do you handle a situation where you have a deadline to meet and your team member had not completed his chunk of work as he was directed by the VP of that department to complete something very important. You are lagging on schedule and there is a direct impact on other projectsif the go-live is changed
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, SP)
Interview
O processo é super fluído e rápido. Inicia-se com um phone screen para entendimento de adequação cultural e requisitos básicos da role. Após isso passa para um loop com 4 ou 5 entrevistadores onde no geral se pedem cases ligados ao principios da Amazon. Após essa fase já existe um comitê decidindo pela offer ou não.
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.
