I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2015
Interview
At first there was a one hour interview, with one interviewer, for the contract company. After several months working on site, there was the opportunity for an interview for a permanent position. The Amazon interview consisted of three separate, hour long interviews at their offices in Ballsbridge, Dublin.
Two interviewers focused mainly on soft skills, and the other interviewer focused on the technical skills. The interviewers were very friendly and made me feel at ease, in what we all know is a very tense situation.

Interview
The process went so quick from the day I submitted my resume to an in person interview happened in 2 weeks . First was a basic hr round on your background and brief explanation of what amazon is looking for this role the lady was so good . A technical interview was scheduled with in next 2 days which went for 1.5 hours it's mostly writing queries on a white board given a business scenario involving very complex queries. The next round was an in person with 4 ppl each 1 hr most of the time it's more of behavioral questions on how you fit in amazons leadership principles ,complex querying given some business logics and Data modeling a business oltp design, to explain the cycle of what you did in your prev jobs.

Question 1
All questions are simple if it's normal but with a word 'interview' your brain becomes blank ..😔 it might not be everyone but 'll put together in a day .. Am so tired today after the interview.
Feedback is not given yet but if they offer me the opportunity I would love to go for it ... So many smart ppl around and the culture of amazon looks so different I haven't seen ppl being so professional and thinking way different from lot of us. And even if you get into amazon you have to work so hard to be one of those smarties or you don't want to go there..the interviewers are always taking notes some are really wonderful managing both but some just had there face in the computer which really is lotta diversion for us to answer gives an impression that they are busy with some other job than listening to what we say 😁
