Hiring POD two rounds - 2 to 3 people on each panel. Average questions and more questions from the "bar raiser". Thought provoking questions, but good conversation with all the panel participants
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give us a time where you needed to meet or exceed a goal. What information did you use and how did you use the data?
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

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.
