I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Applied on line. Took over 6 months to hear back from recruiter. Once recruiter contacted me, I had three phone screens over the course of two months. Overall, the phone screen process was very pleasant and informative. Once completed the phone screens, had an on-site interview. This interview included 4 sets of 2 interviewers over 4 hours. There were also 3 other candidates there, we each rotated through each interview panel. The interviewers were: 3 Regional Directors, 2 General Managers, 1 Regional HR Manager, and 1 Junior Recruiter. Overall, the Regional Directors were arrogant and condescending. If it didn't happen at Amazon, it was not worth their time. I did not feel like they welcomed other ways of thinking or ideas. Also, the recruiter had told me to keep my examples in my own terms, not to "Amazon" my answers. However, when I tried to explain using my terms, I got the feedback "What you are talking about is foreign to me" and "You are not answering the question I asked." Two of the Regional Directors and one of the General Managers were very unpleasant, rude, and left me with no desire to work for Amazon.
