I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2016
Interview
First there was an HR Screen Call then an Initial Interview Call and then finally a Back to Back Interview Call (in reference to case)... Phone screen was all behavioral. In the second interview, the guy was an absolute jerk (but he ok'd me), and the back-to-back wasn't easy but definitely manageable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Good mix of behavioral vs. technical... the technical wasn't very numbers heavy... mostly stuff like in this given scenario, what are three things you would look for?
Financial analyst intern, online assessment was based on leadership principles, look at the website for these. Excel and SQL. Probability and analytic skills. Choosing the best reply in different scenarios etc.
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
