I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2012
Interview
Overall the interviewer was very dry. I see myself as very witty and I have heard that Amazon likes people with energy and humor so I played to my strengths. However, the interviewer didn't respond to anything I was saying, just constantly shooting off question after question. His questions weren't presented well, mostly began with a LONG story and ended with a non-related question. I had to ask repeatedly what the exact question was. TIP: Always remember their focus is customer-centric.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2011
Interview
Got an email saying my resume has been shortlisted. Replied back to the email specifying dates for a telephonic interview. Did not receive an acknowledgment email confirming the date. A day before the date that I had asked for got a confirmation email.
There were 2 back to back telephonic interviews about personal goals, why do i fit into the role, some creative questions about amazon's business changes, explaining the past work situations.
I do not know what constitutes right answer for these kind of questions and since its telephonic, it all depends on choice of words and brevity.
