Several phone interviews followed by being flown onsite to interview. They obviously put a lot of emphasis on hiring the right people. You get interviewed by a wide array of people and positions. Most of the questions are behavioral based and challenge you to provide facts in how your experiences match the skill sets and culture.

Interview
A friend of mine who became a new Amazon operations manager referred my name to an Amazon Military Liaison who contacted me via e-mail. The liaison requested that I fill out a brief employment history and location preference. He scheduled a phone interview which we conducted three days later. The phone interview was 30 minutes long and was example based. For instance, "give me an example of when you solved a complex problem with a simple solution?" or "What practices have you put into place to improve customer service?"

Question 1
Panel interviews that deep dive into root cause. You can never provide enough details or data at Amazon. If you are the type of person that "fluff's" answers, you will fall on your face.
