Amazon evaluates candidates on its Leadership Principles(LPs). LPs are core to Amazon culture and each interviewer will evaluate on 2-3 LPs.The best part is of the process is that the recruiters usually share the description of the 16 LPs which helps the candidate prepare for the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a situation when you had to take an decision on a project and you did not have enough data around it.What did you do and what was the impact?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2021
Interview
Check the box activity. First off, the hiing manager appeared wearing a hat which in the world of today, most meetings are taken from home, but still; the manager wearing a sports team hat should not have been acceptable/seen as professional for a job interview.
Spent little to no time asking about me as a person and my accomplishments, mostly asked job specific questions & how I would do them at Amazon as opposed to how I did/would do them at my current company.
I felt no sincere connection during our discussion and, frankly, the manager came off as a little arrogant and a bit of a jerk. I was rejected two days later, felt no remorse (I also did not send a thank you email & felt no need) and I received a survey to share feedback where I stated it was one of the worst interviews I've ever had and I literally have no interest in ever wanting to work for Amazon.
