I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2017
Interview
It was hard to answer behavioral / situation questions. I am very bad at selling myself. It is probably good to practice these: Describe a simple but great idea that you have successfully implemented. Describe what you would improve in your current team. Describe the biggest challenge that you faced in your work. Describe the situation when your team could not make a deadline and how you handled it.
So far has been a written screener and phone screen. Not very difficult as long as enough preparation has been done. Important to show good work. The virtual interviews will come soon
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
On line call with another manager. Not sure why they used a person as it could have been a robot from sector 7G, zero interaction, just asked questions about their Leadership Principals, I felt it was a tick box exercise and if you don't tick the particular box, you are out. Very quick response less than 24hours. Seriously who would want to work for an organisation where your manager is a drone/robot?

Question 1
All Leadership questions, they are looking for people who are devoid of any personal thought.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2019
Interview
Behavioral questions. And they expect the answers to be in a STAR format. Situation, Task, Action, Result. Be prepared to answer the same question from multiple interviewers. And they type down most of your answer.

Question 1
Tell me a time where a project failed. What did you do and how did you communicate the failure.
