I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Dallas, TX) in Aug 2022
Interview
Amazon interview process generally consists of the following steps:
Initial Phone Screen: This is typically a 30-45 minute phone interview focused on your background, experience, and interest in the role.
Behavioral Interviews: These are in-depth interviews that assess your fit with Amazon's Leadership Principles. These are often conducted via video call and can last 45-60 minutes each.
Final Interview: This is typically a 1-hour interview with a senior leader, often the hiring manager. It's a chance for them to dig deeper into your background and assess your overall fit for the role.
First started with phone screen with HR. Next round was an all day virtual interview with future manager, skip manager, one teammate, and a technical interview with someone on AWS. Asked standard “tell me a time when…” questions that related to the leadership principles and a few follow ups for additional info.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you made a decision without manager approval. How did you know it was the right decision? What was the outcome?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Phone call w recruiter to go over process. Initial Interview w team member, if that goes well there’s a panel round. Recruiter was really helpful. Standards Amazon tell me about style questions.
Good experience, all interviewers were professional and friendly. Red flags from hiring manager, however. Interview was conducted over 3 days, all interviews were online. Declined the offer due to changes in personal circumstances.
