I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Riverside, CA)
Interview
Phone screening + 5 interviews 1:1 in a hotel for a whole day with other candidates. Math problem included. Very intense every single interview where following the STAR pattern to describe professional experience helps during the selection process.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Cold, calculated, no repoire, just ABC's, do not deviate from the question and have your canned responses in a specific form or you are just wasting their time and they will tell you that you are. Very inexperienced young managers who are just going through the motions. Many of them are first time managers, and it shows, they are straight out of college and have no people skills.
