I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Washington, DC) in Mar 2016
Interview
Phone interview that took about an hour. The interviewer described his position and how long he had been at Amazon, about 6 months. I don't think he was anymore comfortable with the process than I was as his style was somewhat forced. Discussed job requirements and then went through the usual experience review and how your quals measure up to the job requirements. The interviewer than told me he would be asking some behavioral interview questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
He asked two questions based on the 14 principles and you need to know answers for each of them. There is no right or wrong answer., but you should understand and have an idea how you are going to answer. Also, there is no feedback at all. If you make it past this, which I ma still waiting on, you will be asked additional questions from the 14.
They as you behavioural question around their 12 Leadership Principles. and they are looking for someone who aligned with that. They usually ask 2 questions in each interview.
Some questions are new but some are same old behavioural questions
