I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bronx, NY) in Jun 2024
Interview
I had an interview scheduled with a recruiter and then with the hiring manager. They sent resources to prepare me for the interview. They emphasize the star format. I probably should have prepped a bit more.

Describe a difficult situation you had to deal with and how you over came it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Florida Ridge, FL) in May 2022
Interview
It was fine, my interviewer was very interactive and friendly. Got back to me in a very timely manner as well. I would recommend to anyone. She was very understanding of my schedule and we were able to work around it. She made my interview feel like a conversation as opposed to an interrogation.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
Brutal. Absolutely brutal. Long. 4 months after initial contact, finally made it to the final interview. Which is comprised of four rigorous hours with four different people in four different cities virtually using a STAR method so you have to have a compelling story for every answer and then be prepared to drill down with further detail on the how, why, impact, conclusion. You think you’ve nailed it only to receive an impersonal reject email three weeks later with zero feedback from some recruiter you’ve never dealt with throughout the four months. And this is just the interview!
