one on one interview sessions with the interviewers. The interviews were 45 minute each and you might want to prepare hard for behavioral type questions, and situational case studies. They might also test your technical skills if the job description mentions so.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
It took about a month to complete 2 phone interviews. The first phone interview was conducted by a team member. The interviewer was easy going and respectful. Asked some basic behavioral questions. Was able to click. The second one with hiring manager was very uncomfortable. The questions were very scripted and didn't apply exactly to the examples I gave. Felt the interviewer was arrogant and disrespectful by rushing the interview. She was expecting me to give her answers in the way similar to what she has done at Amazon. The problems she was able to solve was mainly because she has Amazon as a platform. The company lives on innovation and automation.
Prepare big projects you have done and write down all details. The interviewer will not appreciate it if you have not implemented big automation process, etc. Regular process improvement at your previous job will not be appreciated. I do wonder how many people will make up stuff just to pass these kind of questions.
