I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Recruiter call me and filter me with all kinds of questions, then setup a technical phone screen, which I passed, then set up a leadership phone screen. The technical interview was about designing systems. The leadership interview was more about difficult situations and how you would deal with them. Also, how would sell a program to upper management. These are the questions for the leadership screen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Is there anything in the Amazon site that you would like to improve? How would you drive this improvement to completion? how would you influence leaders?
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.
