I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in July 2022
Interview
The interview process is rigid. You need to know the 14 Leadership Principles when answering the interview questions. All questions are behavior. You must answer them in the STAR technique but relate them to a specific leadership principle based on the question. I was interviewed by an EA that has been with Amazon less than 1 year. There were no follow up questions to any of my answers.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when a coworker gave you feedback you did not agree with?
Screening call, five ‘loop’ interviews & HM chat. Loop based on Amazon leadership principles & STAR interview format. You receive plenty of information on how to prepare for the interviews which are back to back and 1 hour each

Question 1
Tell me about a time something went wrong, what were you doing, how did you deal with it…
Very intense. 2 phone screens and 4 45 minute interviews, known as the loop. The recruiter prepared me with much detail about what to expect. If you prepare, you’ll be fine.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Went through phone screening and never heard back even after reaching out to recruiter. It was unusual since they are usually quick on notifying you. I've went through a few interviews with them in the past.
