I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2012
Interview
I was initially screened over the telephone with a recruiter and the hiring manager. I was then invited to an all day panel interview in Seattle with approximately 5 individuals from different functional areas within Amazon. The interview was largely experience based with a case discussion as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a project where you had the greatest impact and how did you use data to drive your decision making process.
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.

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
