I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2015
Interview
It wasn't a great experience at all. It was a phone interview , he started by saying he is down with flu and he is not interested in knowing why I am interested in Amazon, he asked "just tell me what brings you here." That was his first question. He didn't ask any previous experience questions , he had his own set of questions from which he read out.

Question 1
There weren't any tough questions, the tone of the interview wasn't good,As if he was forced to interview me.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Amazon.com contacted me via email and I worked closely with a recruiter that is specific to the product vertical (Amazon Global Prime). After a phone interview with the hiring manager and while I was a good fit for Amazon.com she wanted to transfer me to another role. The phone interview went well, but again the position was not the best fit as it was too technical for my nature. My recruiter told me that I am still a good fit for the company, but just not that position. I would have to relocate and decided to decline any further interviews at that time.

Question 1
For this business, they want to make sure that you are using data to back up what you are doing. This particular interview, they asked what features I would introduce into the vertical. Luckily, I was very familiar with the Prime and Seller Central.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2012
Interview
Six interviews in all. A mix of simple small cases and behavioral interviews. The interviewers are checking whether you have experience with data driven decision making because at Amazon people make such decisions everyday. So if you can show that you have experience with data driven decision making it will a long way in showing that you will flourish at Amazon

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you made a decision without complete supporting data
