How would you describe the interview process for the role you applied for, and what should others expect, pros and cons, etc?

Question

Accepted Answer

The process is very intense and requires hours of reading, studying the LPs, and understanding Amazon's corporate culture on a deep level. The LP's are everything and make up the good majority of the questions. You may not even realize they're asking you about the LPs but they are and the interview is really one long personality test.

Answer

Very focused on the STAR methodology for interview questions as well as relating experiences back to the Amazon Leadership Principles.  Typically have a one hour screener interview session and then a full "Loop" day of interviews with 5-6 different AWS and Amazon personnel from the team as well as different business groups.

Answer

Overall, a very intensive interview process that will dive especially deep into how you go about solving problems.  I've found in the past, prepping for an Amazon interview will also set me up well to interview anywhere else.  In terms of what to expect: tons of questions getting after the LP's.  Your recruiter will work with you in preparing, but I'd have 15-20 strong stories ready that you can spread out as examples to speak towards each LP.  Big tip: use data and metrics whenever and wherever you can.
