I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Lab126
Interview
phone interview with hr, and then team member, after that, an onsite interview. The onsite interview has a lot of behavior questions, which the hr stressed in his email.
Met two Indian guys during the onsite interview, both are barely decent person. One is a manager from mechanical design team, one is a member from that mechanical design team. The manager seems very sleepy, and he cannot keep his eyes open during the whole interview course. The other guy is the worst people I ever met. He tried hard to pretend he knew thermal, and asked a lot of foolish questions. And his attitude was very confrontational. After him, I interviewed the hr person, and expressed my concerns. But I guess that cannot help with anything.

some exmaples: Tell me about thermocouples? Then why, why, why? He said he would keep asking why if I said I know sth. He would ask why until I said I do not know.
How do you attach thermocouples? I answered how I did that. and he replied "wrong". I said, well, I saw some other big companies did similarly in their guidelines. He replied, that's wrong. I asked if he can share whats the right to way to do. He said he can not. .... the whole process was very confrontational.

Interview
I applied online and was contacted by Amazon recruiter about a week later. She arranged a technical phone interview and told me that the interview consists of technical, coding and behavioral portions. So, I spent a lot of time on coding and 14 famous Amazon principles for behavior interview. However, on interview day, the hiring manager only asked me technical questions. I think I did a good job answering his questions considering my job experience was not directly related to the job. However, after 2 days, I got a rejection email.
