I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bellevue, WA) in Nov 2020
Interview
Pretty seamless process. I got an e-mail with a few questions regarding my experience. They scheduled the first interview with a senior program manager which went well. It followed by the second phone interview with the hiring manager who was 13 minutes late and extremely reluctant to listen. It seemed he had a rough day and he wasn't listening to my answers. Asked same question multiple times and at the end said this is not the role you are expecting. I am happy that I didnt get selected because he would have made my life hell
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had conflict with your superiors and how did you manage it
In total I interviewed with about 10 people. By far the longest interview process I’ve ever undergone. The first interview was a standard phone screen. The subsequent interviews were more thorough spread across multiple days. On one day I interviewed with up to 6 people.
An online assessment, followed by an hour-long virtual screen, followed by 3 hour-long virtual interviews back-to-back. Almost all questions were behavioral, related to Amazon's Leadership Principles. Rounds were about two weeks apart, contacted very quickly after application.

Question 1
"Describe a time when you got more than halfway done with something and realized you had to start over"
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX) in July 2025
Interview
Long process - 3-6 months. All I can say is that you must be fluent in the Amazon Management Principles as well as knowing the STAR method. This helped tremendously throughout the process.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you.... etc and then it'll be about one of the management principles. They will also follow up and dig more and more about the STAR responses. So understand what you're saying.
