I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Mar 2014
Interview
The interviewers all asked questions that were very similar and these are mainly competency based questions. Not too difficult but it would be worthwhile having a few examples prepared. For example "What has been your biggest challenge at work and how did you overcome it?" and "Tell us about an experience where you made a mistake and how did you handle it and what steps did you put into place to corrected it?"
I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2009
Interview
Interview process was unimpressive. Took a long time to arrange interviews, interviewers not turning up on time, lack of structure to the interviews, lack of insightful questions! The head office is in the middle of Slough, and was very low rent! Amazon prides itself on maintaining a low overhead business model, but I'm used to having an attractive working environment - and this was anything but. That said, I met some good people and Amazon is doing some very impressive things in the marketplace.

Question 1
Nothing difficult - that was one of my main problems with the whole process!
