I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services
Interview
the interviewers use a methodology that is very situational, not focusing much on the experience of the candidate, but rather ask situational questions, and then drill into what the candidate did in each situation, how an issue was solved, or not solved, what was the result, what was learned etc.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you did not agree with your peer. what was the situation, what did you do? what was the outcome?
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Long. Be prepared to answer every "tell me about a time when" question you can think of. Did not seem particularly relevant to the role I was interviewing for (Communications PM). Some interviewers were nice, one was outright hostile.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you challenged the status quo and what the positive outcome was.
6 round loop. Takes about 8 hours. One hour each interview, with 2 interviewers per block. Prep is key, no prep, no offer. The interviewer will ask about leadership principals and how they were applied to your qualifications. You will need to prepare 2 stories per leadership principal, and never reuse the same story twice. So 24 stories total.

I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Herndon, VA)
Interview
There are sixteen success
principles at Amazon they like you to know and demonstrate how your experience illustrates these principles using the STAR principle (Situation, Task, Action, Result). The interview style was very conversational and casual but they love to close
the k terrier
process with a “gotcha” question to see if you think on your feet
