Interview
Long interview process. it took about 3 weeks. I had a hiring manager interview, then a "loop" of 5 interviews and a writing assessment. Everyone was very nice. they are very strict on the STAR format and give you a lot of details on how to answer the questions. They also push the 16 principles very hard.

Interview
It was a pleasant experience to talk with the hiring manager in Amazon. The questions were situation based- tell me about a time...? If you have worked in the field, it shouldn't be hard to answer, but you should prepare some examples, as it's might be hard for you to get them there on the spot.

Interview
Had 3 phone interviews total. The interviewers thought my experience was relevant and sounded positive about sending me through for next steps. When it came time to speak with the leader of the team, they asked about my education, and once I answered, they decided not to move forward. My advice to Amazon is to vet education information before wasting candidates time in lengthy interviews. My education background was clearly stated on my resume and Amazon candidate profile.
