I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2016
Interview
This was the first interview with the hiring manager and was a phone interview. I had a call with a recruiter first who explained the role and could not really talk about the product. On the interview, there is not much that can be said about the product or technology you would be working on. They also will not talk much about the market or customers they are building this product for. This makes it very difficult to ask good questions at the end of the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you come up with an "innovative idea"? For example, before the airplane people would have asked for a faster car, how do you come up with that airplane kind of idea?
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
