Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter via email, had one phone interview with a manager, and 6 hour in person POD style interview. Entirely behavioral based questions (tell me about a time...), STAR interview method.
The recruiter did a great job of prepping me before hand. Don't stress too much over getting the right answers on the Excel test, they are just checking to make sure you have the basic logic down.
Be prepared with examples, it was very fast paced interview section. Have questions prepared in advance, don't be caught off guard like you weren't prepared. Even with being prepared we still ran over time in most of my sessions. I decided to pass due to the amount of travel required and constant relocation the only real option of advancement.

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
