I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2017
Interview
I was reached out by the Amazon recruiter. First initial interview was with the recruiter itself. And the second interview was with the hiring manager. Third would have been on campus with six managers and that would have been a panel interview.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Asked about what I knew about the Aws system and why am I interested?
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
From initial contact to offer, less then 2 weeks. Each milestone was followed up within 48 hours. Onsite was hard but a good experience. I had two initial phone screens, then was schedule for a full day onsite with 4 people from my group and someone not associated with my group (the bar raiser). I had a lunch buddy and we discussed the culture at Amazon.

Question 1
All questions used the STAR process and focused on the 10 leadership principles.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2017
Interview
Applied for the position in November 2016. Received an email from a recruiter in mid December to schedule a phone interview with hiring manager. Received email from different recruiter to confirm interview date and time. Interviewed with hiring manager. A week later, received another email from a recruiter to schedule a 2nd phone interview with the hiring manager's colleague. Had 2nd interview a week later. Received another email from a 3rd recruiter to advise me they want to have a 3rd phone interview. This interview was back with the hiring manager. The manager advised me he thinks I would be a great fit, and he would like for me to come for an onsite visit. (the position was at HQ, I live on the east coast) He said the recruiter would be in touch with me to coordinate travel. That was the 1st week of February 2017. I allowed a week to pass and then I emailed the recruiter to find out if there any new developments with the recruiting. No response. Then 2 weeks ago a 4th recruiter emails me about a totally different position to interview for. I say to myself, what the heck. So I start the process all over from square one. I interviewed with a hiring manager. I didnt feel a good vibe or connection. I had more interest in the previous position. So I hear back a week later from 5th recruiter that Amazon was not moving forward. I never heard anything from the 1st role I interviewed for. I understand business needs change, but if you tell someone we want you to come onsite, and then just go cold, that is totally unprofessional. An email would've sufficed. I don't want to work for an organization that doesn't respect one's time or handle business with integrity. (leadership principles)
