I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2021
Interview
5 interviews over two days, focused on different leadership principles - behavioral interviews where questions are asked to provide a specific example from the past. Interview is difficult in the sense that you have to prepare - I recommend listing all leadership principles and writing 2-3 examples from your work and life on each one of them, so that you are ready with an example to every question

Question 1
Q. Tell me about a time when you were trying to understand a complex problem and had to dig into details to figure it out.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Reston, VA)
Interview
Very intense process to get to the interview stage; the number of tollgates to pass through was overwhelming. At interview, the people I spoke to were great but the role was, at that time, not clearly defined and seemed likely to lead to unclear expectations.

Question 1
Give an example of working in an ambiguous environment.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in Mar 2022
Interview
Had 9 interviews and got a NO from them in the end. All interviews focus on behavioural questions and require maximum preparation.
Scheduling 4 interview with 4 different persons in one day is exhausting.
Too many persons involved in the process. The pannelist were only interested on Amazon Principles and seem very impersonal. Overall a stressful process.
