I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Edmonton, AB) in Nov 2022

First step is completing an online test. Second step is phone screening. Third step is a 3 pannel interview 45 min each. They only ask behavioural questions based on Amazon leadership principles for this role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q. Tell me about a time you helped groom a fellow collegue or team. Q. Tell me about a time you faced challenges within your time. All questions are answered in STAR format.
Typically starts with a recruiter phone screen, followed by an online assessment for technical roles. Interviewers evaluate both job skills and how well you demonstrate Amazon’s Leadership Principles through behavioral questions. One interviewer is often a “Bar Raiser,” whose role is to maintain hiring standards and probe deeply into your experience, decision-making, and impact.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Rugeley, England)
Interview
I had 4 interviews, each lasting 45 minutes, scheduled back-to-back.
Each interviewer focusing on 2 Amazon Leadership Principles. You can find all the principles online if you want to review them in advance.
For every question, use the STAR method
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Be confident, be specific, and make sure you show your personal impact.
Interviewers may also ask follow-up questions to dig deeper, so be ready to explain:
• Why you made certain decisions
• What you learned
• What you would do differently next time
Very structured, using the leadership principles. It felt a little mechanical but very thorough. Limited interest in WHY I was interviewing. Great advice from recruiter in the process leading up to the loop.
