I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Detroit, MI) in Oct 2020
Interview
Behavioral interview questions such as “Tell me a time when…” I suggest preparing by researching the leadership principles and having a specific story for each one. It will usually consist of two interviews back to back and each interviewer will have around 3 specific leadership principles to focus on. They will ask you around 3-6 questions each. The interview can be very difficult if you do not prepare and extremely easy if you do. Make sure to answer in the STAR method.
