Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Cambridge, MA) en jun 2015
Entrevista
Lengthy 5 interview 5 hour non-stop interview sessions. 7 people total. Location was had a very industrial feel to it with little air circulation. With the exception of one of the interviewers, they acted like you should be bowing to the altar of Amazon for the privilege of being there.

Lots of "tell me about a time when you...." Or "describe a time when you could have done something better...." They were very open ended and nebulous. They made you feel like a hospital patient undergoing some sort of experimental treatment as they had "interview trainees" along for the ride. The last interview was by a senior person who blew significant smoke. Lastly and most annoyingly is that they continually took "notes" on their computers as you talked.
