Behavioral questions based on Amazon’s Leadership Principles were heavily emphasized. Interviewers evaluated problem-solving depth, clarity of communication, and ability to handle trade-offs. The process was structured and transparent, with prompt scheduling and detailed expectations shared before each round.
