I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Typical phone interview with HR with basics about background. Had to contact several times over the phone to clearly establish expectations in terms of role. I was contacted by multiple business groups for multiple roles, however I did not see a good fit. AMZ seems to have good opportunities, however the candidate selection process needs to improve. Also, program manager interviewing should take time to understand the candidates background and their interest as opposed to trying to 'sell' the roles that they are trying to fill. It becomes obvious to the candidate that such roles / team managers would not be a good fit, even if the opportunity is very good.

Question 1
Was contacted to be interviewed with many business groups. Questions were scenario based and had to provide responses based on real time / project experiences.
It was 5 round interview with 5 people ack to back. I was asked questions based on the Amazon's LP. It was smooth even though i was not selected. They have put a ban for 6 months, will try again after 6months next year.

Interview
O processo é super fluído e rápido. Inicia-se com um phone screen para entendimento de adequação cultural e requisitos básicos da role. Após isso passa para um loop com 4 ou 5 entrevistadores onde no geral se pedem cases ligados ao principios da Amazon. Após essa fase já existe um comitê decidindo pela offer ou não.
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.
