It was a generally accepted practice based on talking to the folks who interviewed with Amazon during my wife's time at Kellogg that one interview would be conducted by someone (an interviewer who had done 100+ interviews) who would be unpleasant in some way. I'm guessing the way Amazon interview for business roles is somehow different than how they interview for specific team positions. As I understand it, MBA hires aren't filling specific gaps on teams, since the hiring process is so long and involves an internship. There wouldn't be a "team" to lower the bar for, in other words.
