Interview
Amazon uses the STAR method to assess their hires. They want to understand your problem solving abilities from stories throughout your career. Often times they are looking for situations you’ve encountered where an obstacle was in place, how you encountered it and what the resolution was. Amazon is a very competitive atmosphere so they’re looking for people who will not give excuses and will get the job done.
