I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Oct 2015
Interview
Amazon's interview process is very interesting and challenging. They evaluate your technical skills as well as your professional posture regarding their Leadership Principles. Technical skills are evaluated according to several core IT areas. You can have the required technical skills, but it doesn't guarantee a job offer. It's important to be adherent to the Leadership Principles. There's also a tech challenge before the in-person interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a situation where you had to argue with your manager and made him change his mind about a sensitive subject.
It was a 4 round loop. The first two rounds focused on networking and troubleshooting, plus questions about your domain. The last two rounds are just answering questions using leadership principles in STAR format.
The interview was smooth. Recruiter reached out with an invitation to an online assessment, then a phone interview 1 hour and interview loop scheduled after that. It had 4 rounds
