Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Any situation where you have to learn and how did you learned it?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2016
Interview
Initially a recruiter contacted me from Lab126 (Sunnyvale, CA) for this role in Seattle. It was fairly standard and well-put together. I had a phone interview with the hiring manager, which went 1 1/2 hours (he's a talker). I was fortunate to get scheduled for an in-person (this last Monday, May 2nd). The on-site took about 4.5 hours where I met with 5 different people. The first person I met was the "bar raiser", which in my opinion wasn't entirely fair. Outside of this aspect, it was a fairly positive experience.

Question 1
Tell me about a time... (must tie back to the leadership principles.)
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Phone screen followed by two phone interviews. Possibly moving to in person interview. Good high level questions that get at your philosophy on leadership, taking chances and dealing with failures. Ample time allotted for employee questions. They are thorough in working with you on the scheduling and the recruiter did a good job of preparing. Candidates should google the Amazon Leadership Principles.
