I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
Interview was really uncomfortable. There was nothing negative on technical part of interview , but until that technical questions there was almost half hour of other types of questions. The only problem was that interviewer did not knew nothing about me (I believe he have never seen my resume). Until that interview I had only 8 month of experience in development and he was asking questions like 'please tell me about the situation when everything was going very wrong in your job and you just take everything under your control and make it better'. Furthermore, when the process started he just say hello and asked first question I have mentioned above. (that was really uncomfortable ) .
