I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londen, Engeland) in Dec 2019
Interview
Two telephone interviews followed by four in-person interviews at their offices. The telephone interviews were fairly standard, but the in-person interviews were quite intense and reminded me of an assessment center more than an 'interview'.

Question 1
In addition to the usual questions that you will easily find online, I faced a lot of questioning as to why I wanted to move from my current role (working in finance) for a potentially lower-paying position at Amazon. They really drilled down to see if I was actually interested in tech, or if I was just looking for a way out of my finance job.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON)
Interview
The Interview process is exactly what people describe - its rigorous and you must be prepared with atleast 2 work examples per leadership principle. Ensure you do not repeat answers and use the CAR or STAR format.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you raised the bar and went above and beyond in a work project.
I got contacted by a recruiter and then one interview with the hiring manager! That was really it because they were rushing to place someone, super quick and took about 2 weeks total.
I only got through to the first stage, where my experience didn't quite match what they were looking for. The next stage was a meeting with someone from their Sales department, and then there is a take-home task, followed by review and further interviews with more senior staff.

Question 1
Why do you think that you, in particular, would be better at this role than somebody else?
