I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in May 2021
Interview
Interview process was good. Starting with recruiter screening, phone screening, interview preparation and behaviour interviews(virtual). Behaviour interviews were done on consecutive days with 3 +2 interviews. All interviewers have spent a good amount of time at Amazon with 4-7 years experience. Very respectful and professional though at times would crack a funny thing to keep things light. 1 interviewer could be a techie guy and pose a lot of technical questions on AWS. Overall a good experience though very time consuming and exhausting.

Tell about a time you had a conflict with your supervisor/colleague?
Tell me about a time you came up with an innovative idea?
Why Amazon?
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
1 hour phone call with 2 questions that they want answered in STAR format. Then moved to Loop interviews where 5 members will interview you. Some ask 1 question and dig deep with several follow up "probing" questions. Others might ask for 6+ STAR stories. Intense across the span of a day but everyone is very kind, professional, and informative. Overall a very well outlined process that you are prepared for via email with your recruiting team.

Question 1
Tell me a time you used customer insights to inform a decision. Tell me a time sacrificed immediate wins for long term strategy. Tell me a time you simplified something other didn't see.
Interview process was long with several rounds at each level. I did feel prepared for each round as the recruiter I was working with was great at preparing me for each stage. Only reason I'm marking this as a poor overall experience, is at the offer level it felt like a bait and switch. I was incredibly transparent about my salary needs. The person that presented the offer was not the same recruiter I worked with throughout my process - it was significantly under my bottom line, and I was dismissed when I made an effort to negotiate. If comp was not a fit, I should have been told that from the start, as to not waste mine and everyone elses time.
