I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Aug 2020
Interview
Approached by HR. First there is cultural + numerical test (more complicated than the ones in consulting and banking), followed by 3x30min interviews.
You need to apply STAR approach and make sure you use buzz words related to the leadership principles (they'll send you information about them). Be explanatory but don't get carried away!!! They like ambitious, initiative, enthusiastic, responsible people, someone who works for the team, not only for their own benefit. Think of situations where you demonstrated their 12 leadership principles. Every interview started with presenting myself (education, work experience), make sure it demonstrates you're a fit for the company. Depending on your answers, you'll have more customized follow up questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why I too this particular degree and at this university? Tell me about a time you improved strategies/work efficiency? Tell me about a time when someone (e.g. colleague, manager) influenced you to improve? How do you measured success at work? If you could do something different (at work) what would you do differently? Describe a time when you improved moral and productivity? How do you make a decision in the absence of enough data? How do you draw a conclusion based on data? How do you feel having authority? Tell me about a time you had disagreement and how you handled it? Tell me about a time customer gave you feedback and you improved? Tell me about a time you had to deal with difficult situation?

Interviewers were friendly and try to ease you up before they give you questions. They had experience on the job so it was good to learn about what they do in their everyday work.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to regain someone's trust. What did you do wrong and how did you gain their trust again afterward?
first online form, then HR email, then online webinar, finally 3 online interviews, in 2 hours, half an hour each. Check your internet, your headset, etc. The interviewers are different, 1 is your future superior, the other 2 are corporate. Over 1 and half month of my life wasted
