I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Feb 2015
Interview
Structured process, a sequence of interviews over the phone. With hr first then with hiring line manager, potential peer, other divisions's managers and finally a face to face interview. Be prepared to intense and long interview process. They are precise and always on time and thry explain hiring process in a very detailed way. They are very much process oriented

Question 1
descrive a customer service issue i had to face during my career
Interview process is lengthy. Starts with a phone interview. Recruiter can be very helpful in the process. The last leg of the interview is a four hour loop. Each hour with different interviewees. They will have a amazon leadership principle and they will ask behavioral questions in relation to that. Don’t repeat stories

Question 1
Tell me about a situation that was full of ambiguity.
Terrible, they said I would be swapped between managers for the first 8 months. No thank you. Total disrespect for my time and the team members involved. Bullet dodged thankfully.
They’re asking for a lot of prep for a role that doesn’t seem to match the pay. For that kind of compensation, the interview should be simpler - maybe just a two-part process with basic questions. That’s what it feels like it’s worth
