The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2012
Interview
I was contacted to do two 45 minute back to back interviews. Almost 10% of my school's MBA class was contacted and did the interviews. I was invited for on-site interviews. It was 4 interviews of 45 minutes each. The 3 consisted of situation questions. "If you were the manager of this product what would you do if this happened?" Only 1 of the interviews was conducted by a senior person in the company and had questions such:
-> Tell me which is an ideal culture for you?
-> What do you wanna do now?
-> What is the most important accomplishment?
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.
