O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon (Seattle, WA) em nov. de 2011
Entrevista
Interview process started with a 1:1 phone interview. Amazon responded within a day or two to schedule a second 1:1 phone interview. An in-person interview was scheduled about 1 week later.
The in-person interview consists of 5 to 7 1:1 interviews, each lasting about 45 minute long. One interview was during lunch, in the Amazon campus cafeteria.
Don't expect to talk about your experience. The entire interview was questions about what you would do in certain situations if offered the job.

Useless leadership principles framed in behavioral question. Tell me about a time when
Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Amazon (Toronto, ON).

You start with an online assessment, which is relatively easy. Then a recruiter reaches out to you if you pass and will ask standard hiring questions. After which, you will then have a phone screen interview and if you pass, you do an interview loop with 5 people. Which is insane for a role that does not pay 100K annually. They also make you go prepare 12-20 STAR stories that you should pretty much memorize.
