I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2015
Interview
Was contacted by two different recruiters for the role via email. Am assuming they are contracted so aren't aware what the other is up to. Responded to one and after a little back and forthing and their needing to reschedule once or twice, we connected.
First interview was pretty basic and purpose was to determine if I'd mesh well with the team. I moved on to the next level to have a phone interview with one of the members of the team. That interview was phenomenal and to be honest, people do not know how to interview EAs, this guy did and his questions allowed me to really share what I can bring to the table.
I felt great after the interview and was told next step was to come in for a face to face. Was told recruiter would call. Two days later, got an email from recruiter saying position had been filled. Never even got to interview. Ouch.
Screening call, five ‘loop’ interviews & HM chat. Loop based on Amazon leadership principles & STAR interview format. You receive plenty of information on how to prepare for the interviews which are back to back and 1 hour each

Question 1
Tell me about a time something went wrong, what were you doing, how did you deal with it…
Very intense. 2 phone screens and 4 45 minute interviews, known as the loop. The recruiter prepared me with much detail about what to expect. If you prepare, you’ll be fine.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Went through phone screening and never heard back even after reaching out to recruiter. It was unusual since they are usually quick on notifying you. I've went through a few interviews with them in the past.
