I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Phone interview - very structured (boxed, rigid ) surprising for a company wanting to be known for innovation
I asked the hiring manager if he’d changed how the team worked together since COVID - he made it sound like it was business as usually, that really seemed a bit contrived
His answers to my questions felt rehearsed and not at all genuine
Received call back for in- person, honestly turned off by the process — just not honest or genuine, not at all what I’d expected for amazon . Interviewer made it sound like I should be honored to be selected and the candidates are just a dime a dozen so they certainly didn’t need me
My opinion - there loss not mine
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Suddenly everyone had to be an expert at SQL and dashboards
One HR screening, Phone screening, Loop interview with 5 People, Team matching interview. The loop interview was tiring since it was 45mins per interview, and you would have to provide examples for LPs.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
Generally conversational and asking about your resume and experience. After the assessment link is sent to you via HR, they can invite you for a phone screen. This phone screen generally lasts an hour.
They asked a lot of behavioral questions and it seemed like SQL/Data Analysis was heavily required. Would definitely recommend prepping all the common behavioral question. Also its important to know the core principles of Amazon
