I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2015
Interview
Recruiting coordinator contacted me for a position on Linkedin and scheduled the interview with one of the Program Manager. They rescheduled it at the last minute and finally had a chance to talk to them after a week over the phone.
He was struggling to even speak proper English and explained a little about what they do and when i asked them about the specific product and responsibilities, started saying Amazon is big company....that's a different product/team...blah...blah...blah...
I started talking about my current role and projects and before i could even complete, he picked one of the project i did 8 years back and started getting into more details....which was fine
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Brisbane) in May 2026
Interview
I applied online. After about a week or two, a recruiter from Amazon phoned me and we spoke for about 45 minutes. He was very pleasant to speak to, we covered some basics around the role and its expectations, and he laid out the next steps in the interview process, including the STAR method. The second step was a line manager interview where he focused on details of past projects and lessons / outcomes. The next step (which I didn't make it to) would have consisted of several interviewers asking different types of questions, and at this stage you don't need to satisfy each interviewer. I presume after this they give you a result. Much of what is documented online aligns with my experiences.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to resolve conflict.
Applied, Recruiter Screen then nothing. Not sure when I'll get a call back. The process seems super complicated. Will apply again now that I know what they are looking for.
HR Screening was scheduled. Then 1 technical screening phone interview was scheduled, followed by two Behavioral interviews, followed by two System design interviews, followed by 1 bar raiser interview. Lastly there was an offer.
