I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Mar 2022
Interview
Interviews are all super days, you will be assigned 5 interviewers:
- Use the Star Method
- Write down 2 examples for each learning principle, and practice! ( YouTube is helpful)
- Let the interviewer know you have notes before you begin " if you see me looking down a lot, I just want you to know I have note".
- Dress work casual
Communicated very well about how the overall process would go. Had to complete case study as well as a separate interview. Overall took 4 hours from start to finish. Completed 2 online tests prior.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
This is for Amazon Business - the first phone interview is 45 mins. They will 9/10 times ask an example of a “customer obsession” story. Mentally prepare at least 3 examples. Then you may or may not have a 2nd phone interview.
If all goes well you go through a loop. Typically 7 people and their questions will be around leadership principles. Amazon is data driven make sure all stories you tie metrics to. “I grew sales by x%” etc. use the STAR method.

2. Describe a difficult interaction you had with a customer. How did you deal with it? What was the outcome? How would you handle it differently?
3. Tell me about a time when you went above and beyond for a customer. Why did you do it? How did the customer respond? What was the outcome?
4. Give me an example of when you were able to anticipate a customer need with a solution/product they didn’t know they needed/wanted yet. How did you know they needed this? How did they respond?
