I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2020
Interview
Applied online, interview process took about two weeks. Recruiter was very quick to respond to any questions, and scheduling is also very flexible and on your own terms. First round or few rounds are phone screens.
Got the phone screen from HR and then scheduled with line manager. I was informed that the JD was totally different from the actual requirement via the phone screen and the 2 interviewers gave me opposite side wholly. Then 6-round audio interviews with leadership principles in 2 days which prepared for 10 days as suggested by HR. During behavior interview, I took STAR methodology strictly and follow up once answer done such as "That's all. Do you have any further question need my clarify or explain more? If this can is not enough for you to understand, I can share a new one" "No, that one is OK" from the interviewers. 1 day later, HR responded me that "Your behavior interview is not good enough to example the details to 14 leadership principles. But I can't deliver more details to this decision to you. So no next step from Amazon" I was really upset with the reason instead of the result indeed. And during the same day, I got some information from a local headhunter friend: this position published by Amazon for a long time, all candidates I met delivered a negative feedback for this interview. No one has been successful. By the way, candidate will get the survey request after interviews to check the attitude, arrangement and etc. So you will find maybe they are all nice but result is tricky.
