Two "filter" interviews, then the five interviews gauntlet, with a mix of technical and sales people. The interviews are very formulaic, they must ask questions from their database, and you must answer following the STAR method (+ add "lessons learned" to it) - even when it's not necessary well suited.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about the Amazon Leadership Principles: e.g. tell us about a project/situation where you brought a lot of unexpected value to a customer
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Several initial screens by recruiters validating my experience and resume.
Then a circuit of 5 interviewers in the same day lasting over 5 hours. When I was done I was offered a different job from the one for which I had interviewed.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (London, England)
Interview
The Amazon loop is an unusual process that is exhausting. It involves meeting a series of interviewers over a day, each of which has a different perspective. Mine was all remote, performed from the comfort of my home whilst the interviewers were largely US based.
Started with a phone screen with the hiring manager, moved into a technical interview (~20 questions) and finally 5 1:1 on site interviews. Outcome on the whole process via phone call a few weeks after the last interview.
