I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2022
Interview
I was a final round interview candidate for a position at Amazon Studios in Culver City. I had an initial video interview with a member of the team (one hour), a prep call with HR (30 minutes), and four additional video interviews (one hour each). The process was intense. The questions are behavioral based and you are instructed to frame your answers according to Amazon’s leadership principles. Overall it was a good experience, but it’s definitely not for the faint at heart.

Screening call, five ‘loop’ interviews & HM chat. Loop based on Amazon leadership principles & STAR interview format. You receive plenty of information on how to prepare for the interviews which are back to back and 1 hour each

Question 1
Tell me about a time something went wrong, what were you doing, how did you deal with it…
Very intense. 2 phone screens and 4 45 minute interviews, known as the loop. The recruiter prepared me with much detail about what to expect. If you prepare, you’ll be fine.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Went through phone screening and never heard back even after reaching out to recruiter. It was unusual since they are usually quick on notifying you. I've went through a few interviews with them in the past.
