I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2017
Interview
Two Phone screens followed by a half day on-site interview. Most questions should have been asked during the first phone screen, not the on-onsite. All of the interviewers appeared to be very stressed and frazzled.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
They asked many behavioral questions, all which were good and well thought out, but repeated unnecessarily in each interview.
Silly, inappropriate technical questions that should have been posed during the the1st phone screen. They wasted my time by bringing me in. Who are these people, don't they prepare at all?

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2017
Interview
I am interviewing with the AmazonFresh team. The phone interviews were manageable and went well. Before the in person interview, I had to write up an example of a judgment call. I then got that question two times during the in person interview. I had examples for each leadership principle ready but in hindsight, I should have had 3 examples for each leadership principles which isn't easy when most companies don't set goals and accurately measure your impact. Recruiter, Hiring Manager, Team Member, 5 hour interview with entire team and 1 bar raiser, written assessment. Bar riser is one person not on your team that can veto you if you wouldn't fit in the culture. I got along with him the best. My struggle was the last person after 4 hours of being grilled I think I was just tired and got very nervous.

Question 1
Make sure you have 3 examples for each leadership principle since you get the same question over again by different people and it is frowned upon to say the same thing.
