The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2011
Interview
They asked me a few questions about what I had done, and I asked about the work life balance. There was none, they work 60-80 hours a week every week. He seemed to love it there, but there was no way they would pay me the rate I was making working 40 hours, so it was pretty obvious it wasn't going to work. It doesn't seem like a good business model to me to work your employees to death, but it seems to be working for them. Personally, I don't even want to buy anything from them knowing how they treat their employees.
Moves very fast and the recruiter/panel is quick to respond. No new questions, everything from LPs. They also want to know about an AI project and a few financial models you built
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
Cinco etapas de entrevista. Precisa reservar tempo pra assistir explicação sobre o processo de entrevistas. Impessoal, pouca informacao sobre a vaga e baseado em tecnicas de comunicação. Usam sistema próprio que não funciona direito (mencionado pelo rh que costuma apresentar alguns problemas) e recrutador de mal humor.
Applied online
Recieved an online assessment which included video responses
Recruiter screening
1st round interview with either the hiring manager or member of the team
Recruiter will let you know if you passed that round in a week
Last round was a loop interview of 6 individuals consisting of members of the team, hiring manager, business partners, and bar raisers
