I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview process was well managed and smooth. Assessment -->Phone Screen-->Writing Assessment-->Final Interview Loop with 5 people from different teams. Some questions were more challenging than others.
Interviewers were professional and warm.
The interview focuses heavily on how well you can align your experience with the Amazon Leadership Principles, how you handle negative situations and how well you know the skill set for which you're being interviewed.
No gotcha questions. Know your resume to the GROUND. Know their Leadership Principles to the GROUND. Communicate clearly in the STAR format and you should do well.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2022
Interview
This was a phone screen with the hiring manager. It was organized in a very impersonal way via their recruiting bot.
The hiring manager was pleasant and informative. It was clear that she was looking for some specific skill/experience or background to add to her team. Unfortunately, I did not have it.
