Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to make a quick decision that was going to have a significant impact on the organization?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Arlington, VA) in Jan 2021
Interview
four rounds of the interview. the manager round was tough, with tons of behavior questions, and challenged each detail you said. the other rounds were normal. got rejected after three days.
Watch out for the online asssessments. Even though the bar seems to have lowered, they can still completely block you out from further rounds. Study, study, study! Also make sure to know your LPs (leadership principles).
