I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
I was emailed by the recruiter and they scheduled a interview. For some reason I didn't get a telephone screening and went strait to interview with a live code test. I was sent about two weeks after my initial email.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about past experiences on conflicts and how I resolved them. They also asked a few technical questions followed by a live code test.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2019
Interview
There were some interesting Leetcode puzzles, solved remotely. I received a positive feedback and invitation for onsite interviews to UK. I was asked to learn some 14 or so Leadership Principles. I didn't expect it, but 75% of the time they were asking to remind the stories related to these Leadership Principles and only 20% for actual coding tasks or tech questions. The UX of the coding app was terrible, you have to scroll constantly to read a task and write code in a little text box. 6 long hours (including the breakfast). Ugh. Remote interviewers were constantly loosing the connection. The interviewers were looking like they didn't sleep for months. After the interviews I had a feeling like I was raped. The feedback was that I did great, but they found a better candidate.

Question 1
Damn Leadership Principles stories, 2-3 positive and 2 negative for each principle. Basic HTML, CSS, JS puzzles. One Leetcode-like problem.
