I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxembourg) in Jul 2012
Interview
After a very chaotic HR screening (They sent me a wrong email for onsite interview which was addressed to anybody else) I got a first phone interview which I didn't pass.
The funny (and chaotic again) thing was that they wanted me to do the phone interview again with the same person as for them I hadn't done it before!
HR staff made a horrible experience and gave me a very bad image of Amazon. Maybe sending a parcel they excel but treating potential hires they literally suck.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Yesterday, at 8 am the temperature was -1º (Celsius) and at 8pm it was 22º. What was the temperature at noon?
First I passed the assessment its not an easy one, next step is phone screen 1 hour interview, my recruiter shared helpful information; connect 12 LP's to your work examples using a STAR method, 2-3 examples per LP.
Process was relatively straight forward, I didn’t make it to the loop. What I can tell you is the recruiter will be overly excited about you as they are with all candidates. They’ll tell you, you can expect to hear back in two days for feedback. Truth is, if they reject you then you will not hear back within 2 days it will be more like a week. Silence means you aren’t getting the job, they’re very binary.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxembourg)
Interview
Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months
