There was an online coding assessment, followed by 4 virtual interviews. The virtual interviews consisted of behavioral questions based on the leadership principles, white boarding for system design, and coding.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They focus heavily on the leadership principle questions. For example: describe a time you made a mistake and how you handled it.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2019
Interview
CV scan, 1 online coding challenge, 1 phone interview, 1 onsite (5 sessions). Overall, very structured and good. Company arranged visa, flight and hotel for onsite interview. It took place in Dublin. All expenses paid.
1. A recruiter will reach out via email or LinkedIn
2. Phone Screen
3. Video Interviews
4. Onsite interviews
5. Offer or no offer
Behind the scenes, a hiring committee decides on offer or no offer, and also collectively sets your level (which dictates your salary range). A hiring manager will then usually follow up by phone within two days to one week to let you know the outcome.
If Amazon does make you an offer, the recruiter will discuss the terms with you (salary, work location, hours, etc.). If you choose to negotiate (and you should!), any adjustments would be approved by a separate compensation committee. If everything is cleared, the recruiter will send over the necessary paperwork.
