I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2011
Interview
This was my first serious interview ever. I was nervous when I got to Amazon. However, everyone that works there were very nice. I had 4 one on one interview within almost 3 hrs of time. They were seriously one after another with no break. Before you finish with the first one, the second will be waiting for you outside already. One of my advice is to ask to take a break. Go to the bathroom and refresh yourself in between. Overall, the interview process was good, but timing was very tight. Be sure to review your accounting/finance stuff, they sure ask a lot about it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Definitely a lot of technical questions. Be sure you know your stuff.
Financial analyst intern, online assessment was based on leadership principles, look at the website for these. Excel and SQL. Probability and analytic skills. Choosing the best reply in different scenarios etc.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2026
Interview
Straightforward process:
1. introduction 2. Why Amazon? Why ads? + three somewhat complex BQ questions 4. a short case study 5. My turn to ask questions.
Prepare your BQ really good and go learn the LPs cuz I definitely failed that part and was confused by myself during the storytelling.
A Virtual Hiring Manager call to discuss my background, evaluate role alignment, explore expectations, and determine next steps in the interview process through a focused, conversational video meeting. Interview was pretty challenging, its important to have succinct examples
