I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Oct 2013
Interview
Applied online and then received an email to do a phone screen. Went on to have phone interviews with two different people, quite a bit of scenario based questions around project situations. Based mostly on resume content, but also some scenarios specific to the role. There were also some technical questions in the interview. Many of them were related to scale and testing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would plan and test for scale in the design of a new website?
Applied, Recruiter Screen then nothing. Not sure when I'll get a call back. The process seems super complicated. Will apply again now that I know what they are looking for.
HR Screening was scheduled. Then 1 technical screening phone interview was scheduled, followed by two Behavioral interviews, followed by two System design interviews, followed by 1 bar raiser interview. Lastly there was an offer.
