I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jan 2019
Interview
Initially applying in November which I now understand as a very busy peak period. I received info that I was successful for a telephone interview and someone will be in touch to conduct but this took 2/3 weeks as they could not find someone to conduct. In the end a Senior Manager called me and the conversation was very informative, they did ask very technical number/data driven questions but seemed as though they were trying to get the best out of me. I was told I would be successful for next phone screen but did not hear anything for 3 weeks. After Christmas was booked in for Interviews and within a week I got an offer. The panel was hard seeing 4 back to back interviewers but again, they seemed to be trying to get best out of you. Must understand Leadership principles and answer in STAR structure with data, analytics and problem solving.
This was for a contract position. I was contacted by a 3rd party recruiter, then was setup with and interview quick with the AWS team, It was just 1 step, 30 minute interview with Senior Recruiter. just 1 zoom call, got the offer the following week and started 3 weeks after that.
