Very intense process and important to have specific points of data to validate examples. It is important to prepare responses around the leadership principles and also demonstrate your understanding of what these are.

The process took a lot of time (3.5 months until the offer and almost 5 months until the start date). I had my first interview 3 weeks after I applied, the second Interview almost two months after the application and the final interview almost three months after I submitted the application. The first interview was with a person that occupys the same position that I was pursuing, the second interview with the Senior Manager and the third interview was actually five rounds with five people (The two that have already interviewed me, a Director and two persons from other teams). All interviewers in all interviews were very friendly. Interview one and two were easy, with some tricky questions but easy in general. I believe these interviews is just to check if the person worth fight the real battle. The final interview was totally focused on Amazon's leadership principles and was very tough. All interviews were held in English, except in those which the interviewer speaks portuguese. A background check was done via a third party. I knew I was approved in the interview before this process, but the offer was extended only after the background check.

I had two phone calls that varied from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Then a few days later I received an email for an in-person interview. The in-person was about 6 hours. It was intense and exhausting, but there were no trick questions.
