I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2018
Interview
Nothing matters but the "Bar Raiser". Mine, I found out later, is a very politically active liberal that hates white males. I was vetoed base on my gender/race. Everyone else said hire. Don't waste your time studying their Leadership Principle's, etc. It all comes down to how you were born.

Question 1
Does it really matter? They employ people like this who are vile, disgusting humans.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dallas, TX) in May 2018
Interview
After talking with the recruiter, had a call with the hiring manager. Completed a second call with a peer account manager and then invited for onsite "Loop" which included six 45-minute interviews, giving a presentation, and a lunch with a "lunch buddy".

Question 1
Describe a time when you had to do the right thing for your customer but it was not the best thing for your company.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2018
Interview
Everything is behavioral based. You meet with 4 different people for an hour each and they ask you for all kids of behavioral based scenarios and follow up questions. Sometimes the scenarios do not seem relevant to the role you are interviewing for, but they are based on Amazon's leadership principles. The four people you speak with seemingly are selected at random. I spoke with 3 people in that field and one in a totally different field, but none of the people I spoke with had ever done the actual role I was interviewing for which was frustrating. I also was not followed up with in a timely manner. The recruiter on this role was supposed to call me within a week with news one way or another, but as I was not being given an offer, I was no longer worth her time. I had to bug her to give me a 30 second phone call.
