I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
3 stages of conversations via Chime based on candidate's experience, concentrating on Amazon's 14 Leadership Principles. Huge support from the recruiter, very friendly yet professional approach. Advice from the recruiter after each stage to better prepare for the next one. Best recruitment process ever!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All questions related to Amazon's 14 Leadership Principles vs. your work experience. Example: "Describe the situation when you had to earn trust of Project team and break the resistance for changes. How did you do it, what was the biggest challenge?"
I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Jul 2020
Interview
Total of 6 interviews - including 4 hours of back to back calls for the final round. Everyone came across quite arrogant during the process which I guess can be accepted because of the giant amazon has become, however, it made for a very cold interview process. They seem to be stuck between being the cool tech start-up they once were and this behemoth of an organisation they have become.
The worst part of the process was, upon rejection they stated that they could not provide any feedback to the candidate BUT instantly asked for feedback on their process.
They had interviewed me as a candidate for over 6 hours, over the course of 7 weeks to then just say no. But to apply again in 6 months!!
Just quite baffling that this policy was put in place, I understand during the early rounds but this just smacks of not caring about their onboarding process or potential candidates...

Question 1
Can you tell me about a time where you didn't have enough data to solve a problem
Five rounds after a telephonic interview round. Questions are asked to judge the candidates fit into the amazon culture. If you are the right fit for the culture, they extend you an offer. Other tangibles if coachable are not a blocker for the offer.
