The process started with an email asking to set up a phone interview with the hiring manager. All of the communication with the recruiters was via email except for the brief meeting before the in person interviews and the post interview notification. The phone interview lasted approximately an hour and gave me a good idea of what the job entailed. I felt like I did a good job of conveying my interest in the position as well as what I could bring to the department. They set up a in-person interview that involved me flying to Seattle to interview with the team. They arranged for flight and hotel. I was reimbursed for taxi and meals. They put me up in a very nice hotel in Downtown Seattle and the reception desk immediately recognized me an Amazon Candidate. The interviews were intense to say the least. The first interview was a lunch interview with the head of the business unit. We had a nice chat over lunch discussing the goals of the BU and how he thought my role would contribute. Then I returned to the office for the rest of the interviews. They all asked me the same questions and the told me to make sure to change my answers each time so they could have more data to pull from in the post interview huddle. Adding to the intensity was the fact that they spent most of their time typing into their laptops recording everything I said. I wasn't sure if I should keep talking or give them time to catch up. I wasn't sure if they were actually listening or just typing. Another bizarre twist was that the hiring manager that did the initial phone interview was not one of the in-person interviewers. I didn't receive the list of interviewers until last the last working day before I was supposed to fly. I didn't get an offer but it was a great experience.
