I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The interview process was a bit lengthy, but they do try to help prepare you for it. The first half of the interview is more of your typical interview process, more behavior based questions. The second half of the interview is more situational based questions. Both of my interviewers were friendly and approachable, and it was honestly overall a great experience.
