      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2012

      Interview

      I was contacted via LinkedIn by a Technical Recruiter. I responded and I talked with her about the role. I had two phone screens followed by the on-site interview in South Lake Union. I was shown to a meeting room, and had all of my interviews there. I had 5 interviews of 45 minutes each. The interviewers each had a topic area to focus on. Typically a question about my experience relating to the role for which I was applying ("Give an example of a situation where..."), followed by a couple of questions basically in-line with the 14 Leadership Principles. A couple of situations were well-suited to drawing on the whiteboard, which I did and the images were captured for the interviewer's notes. The interviewers typed non-stop on their notebooks. I was allowed about 5-7 minutes for questions of the interviewers, where I focused on the role for which I was applying, and integrated key points indicating that I had done some research on the company and the role. After the interviews I was thanked and shown out of the building.
