The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in May 2016
Interview
Had some basic interaction with a recruiter and then was given a digital interview. 5 questions total and you had to record your answers on a webcam. Did a few practice questions first to prepare.
3 basic interview questions and then 2 math questions. 1 minute to prepare for your answer. Math question was timed (I think 5 minutes each) so work fast.
After that, I went to an interview pod. Was with a group of 4 other candidates and we rotated through 4 interviewers. Had a math question to complete as soon as you get there. One of the interviews is reviewing you answer and then completing the same math problem with a twist. The other 3 are pretty standard interviews. Use the STAR technique when answering the questions and you will be fine.
Was contacted a few days later with an offer. Decent offer but I know other people were offered more money for the same position. They weren't willing to negotiate and I declined the offer. Seems like a good place to work but I have hear people typically leave after a few years because they get burnt out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to work with an underperforming team member and how your overcame that to achieve a goal.
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Stamford, CT)
Interview
Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Talked to 3 different people, all of whom were wearing old sweatshirts and not looking at the camera. As I was sitting on zoom in a suit jacket, did not feel at all a place I would be valued at.

Question 1
Conflict between coworkers, how would you approach resolving?
All virtual. STAR interview questions (situation task action result). Think of examples of tough situations you had to deal with. I think I had 2 or 3 interviews before I got an offer. Pretty smooth process overall.
