I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2025
Interview
The interview process took me about three weeks from initial conversation with recruiter to offer. You will need to prepare if you want to make a good impression. Familiarize yourself with the Amazon Leadership Principles and STAR formatted responses. I went through an initial call with the recruiter, then a phone screening with an individual who was part of the team I interviewed for, then had 5 virtual interviews over a 2 day period. Each person conducting the interview had a few leadership principles they asked questions on. I spend a few hours a day prepping for about a week and I felt confident with the interviews. I had about 20 scenarios from my past work experience that could be aligned to the principles. Use the internet to learn about the process, you will understand it more, be prepared and either have more respect for the process or realize maybe it's not for you. I personally feel like I had to earn the offer and appreciate the checks and balances they have in place to ensure the right candidate is hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you saw the possibility of an opportunity far beyond what you initially imagined. How did you identify it? What did you do? What was the outcome?
I got contacted by a recruiter and then one interview with the hiring manager! That was really it because they were rushing to place someone, super quick and took about 2 weeks total.
I only got through to the first stage, where my experience didn't quite match what they were looking for. The next stage was a meeting with someone from their Sales department, and then there is a take-home task, followed by review and further interviews with more senior staff.
