Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró más de 2 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Bengaluru) en jul 2016
Entrevista
I got a call from recruiter who saw my profile on a job portal. The entire process was quite long 2.5 to 3 months but the interactions with all interviewers were pretty interesting and good.
Since this was my first interview at Amazon, I read a lot about company, culture and people. Do that it helps.
I had:
2 telephonic rounds (hiring manager and skip level manager)
6 On-site interviews (Includes Bar raiser round)
1 Document writing/Case study
Tips:
======
Amazon has 14 leadership principles and they believe everyone hired is a leader. They evaluate candidates to identify if the candidate displays their leadership principles.
Before interview revisit your entire career and think of various interesting/challenging things you have done, problems you faced and how you overcame those.
Prepare more than 1 example for every situation, by prepare i mean structure your thoughts.
You can't fake it so be real, if you haven't faced a situation interviewer is asking about be honest and share that you haven't come across the same yet and infact that would be a very good learning experience.
I followed STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) methodology to structure my thoughts and answer each question.
Take time before you start answering each question, interviewers are very mature and understand you need time to grasp the question, revisit your experience and answer it.

It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
