I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2015
Interview
2 phone screenings plus a final on site series of 4 back to back interviews. Each interviewer did a great job at forgoing the process in a conversational manner, but be prepared to answer plenty of situational questions with personal examples unfolded in STAR format. There was 1 week in between the first 2 interviews and a 3 week gap for the on site interviews. Took 9 days to get offer
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Situational questions based around leadership principles. I made sure I had a few STAR based responses on hand for each principle which left me more than prepared (or I got lucky)
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.

Previous experience
Languages
Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
very standard. the interviewers had a set of questions to ask about the LPs so we can anticipate beforehand. But I think I got ghosted in the end. One of the interviewers told me about the 2 & 5 rule but its been more than 2 weeks since my last interview and still no response from anyone so idk what happened.
