I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Nov 2021
Interview
Behavioral Question based. Focus on the Amazon Leadership principles, asked to substantiate prior life examples by applying leadership principles. Only 2 rounds took place, 1st interview was completely leadership principles based, 2nd round was a bit technical (Basic finance/accounting questions). It was an MBA college internship hiring process, hence only 2 rounds.

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
