I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2016
Interview
Your typical phone screening questions. Nice interviewer and asked your standard interview questions. Had concerns after reading the New York times article describing the corportate culture. Did not ask the questions about that article wish I would have. Spoke to former employees and got mixed reviews on the overall company and thought it was worth a try.
Financial analyst intern, online assessment was based on leadership principles, look at the website for these. Excel and SQL. Probability and analytic skills. Choosing the best reply in different scenarios etc.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2026
Interview
Straightforward process:
1. introduction 2. Why Amazon? Why ads? + three somewhat complex BQ questions 4. a short case study 5. My turn to ask questions.
Prepare your BQ really good and go learn the LPs cuz I definitely failed that part and was confused by myself during the storytelling.
A Virtual Hiring Manager call to discuss my background, evaluate role alignment, explore expectations, and determine next steps in the interview process through a focused, conversational video meeting. Interview was pretty challenging, its important to have succinct examples
