I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
4 interviews of 30 minutes each... Good cop/bad cop strategy... 2 case questions, one had nothing to do with the company and the ther was about one of the company categories. Very behavioral, they are tryign to find the 14 leadership principles on your answers. Interviewers will be writing in their laptops all thhe time, so its hard to gain eye contact with them at the beggining
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your greatest failure? Tell me about a time you had to convince someone to buy in your idea?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Oct 2021
Interview
The process started with an Online assessment which requires around 2 to 3 hours to complete. If you move forward, then 4 interviews will be required before expecting an offer. 3 interviews are behavioral question related, and 1 interview is a business case analysis.

Question 1
You will need to study Amazon leadership principles and prepare your storytelling using the STAR method
4x 45-minute virtual interviews - some without even the camera on zoom - with sometimes 2 interviewers per interview. Back to back without many breaks.
95% of the interview was behavioral "tell me about a time.." I had prepared my examples well, but it's sometimes very hard to come up with an example that fits the interviewer's question on the spot. They dig very deep on details.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you came up with something out of the box at work
