I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2016
Interview
2 HR screens and 2 SME interviews, then onsite with 5-6 interviews. Very disorganized and phone screens were a moving target. They were rescheduled several times and were kept to exactly 45 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time that you were given an assignment or put in a situation where you have no knowledge of the subject. What did you do?
The interview process involved various steps but wasn’t too taxing. You had to meet various people and chat to them about your experience. There wasn’t a task to complete or anything so that was a blessing!
After 8 interviews they told me they were inclined to hire me but just with a lower position. They said that they would have checked if possible and if not they would have made sure to find a position for me in the company. Well, they just ghosted me
All is about OLP. You should prepare about 10 episodes and assume OLPs you might be assigned, and associate with the episodes that match to OLP. It would be better to use different episodes for each interviewer, but you can use same ones.

Please tell me an episode that you have difficult challenges but you found the solution and overcame the issue.
