I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2022
Interview
STAR system as per recruiter. Interview via video. Interviewer did not seem interested in being there at all from the moment the video came on based on body language (red flag?). Probably better off to go back to just a phone screen in this case. Did not get a follow up. However, later on found from the news that Amazon was laying off more than 10K and that they were posting ~3 times more openings there were actually approved positions. While initially confused why a hiring manager looked so uninterested in doing an interview, I can see now it was probably a sign of what was to come. Looking at the positive, did not have to spend time preparing for additional interview rounds for a position that may not have been approved at all.

Question 1
The STAR system questions. They seem to go by their book.
It was 5 round interview with 5 people ack to back. I was asked questions based on the Amazon's LP. It was smooth even though i was not selected. They have put a ban for 6 months, will try again after 6months next year.

Interview
O processo é super fluído e rápido. Inicia-se com um phone screen para entendimento de adequação cultural e requisitos básicos da role. Após isso passa para um loop com 4 ou 5 entrevistadores onde no geral se pedem cases ligados ao principios da Amazon. Após essa fase já existe um comitê decidindo pela offer ou não.
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.
