If your doing competency based interviewing (which Amazon appears to be doing) its on you to demonstrate the competencies.

But it does seem that Amazon's interviewing is not the best - I have worked for places where you had to take and Pass a 2 day residential course before you where allowed to interview candidates.

It's a half day course at Amazon to be an interviewer, followed by a bunch of "shadowing" interviews and phone screens. To be a head interviewer (bar raiser) requires 100+ interviews under your belt, a lot of additional training, and a lot of further shadowing.

The fact is, it takes a certain personality to be really good at interviews. (I suck at it because I like everyone, too optimistic.)
