J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en nov. 2011
Entretien
Contacted by Amazon recruiter after posting my resume on Monster.com. Have already gone through two rounds of phone interviews (one with recruiter and one w/ a Sr. manager of the team). Getting ready for my second phone interview this week and if that goes well, a final 1:1 on-site interview will be scheduled.
Lots of behavioral questions about ways to make improvements on the site, customer service, product line expansion. Overall good experience as the questions they asked made me feel that they're simply trying to find a candidate that can be a good fit for the team and culture.

Question 1
If you were given a project with no clear goal or resources, how would you approach it?
Interview process is challenging but expected as everything you need to know is available online. They will schedule you with 4 employees from the team or organization you will work with and 1 completely separated from your organization as a "bar raiser". No need to work to impress one specific person, know 12-14 differentiated STAR formatted stories by memory.

Tell me about a time you had to sacrifice short-term gain for long-term success. What did you do? What was the outcome?
3 loops of 45 min interviews with people from different teams I would work together with if I get hired, Standard behavioral questions, 3 to 4 per interview and a few follow-up questions to each answers, follow-up styles differ by the interviewer

Question 1
Tell me about a time you created a metric to identify a need for change.
Not great. Very first interview had no proper introduction to the role and was not with HR, interviewee went straight into a case study within 5 minutes. Didn't seem interested in my actual work background.
