I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2020
Interview
It was very simple, an hour interview that focused on behavioral questions. This interview is a before a longer interview that is much more difficult. They will let you know within 2 business days if you have made it past the first interview, and into the final selections.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you raised the bar and went above and beyond in a work project.
I got contacted by a recruiter and then one interview with the hiring manager! That was really it because they were rushing to place someone, super quick and took about 2 weeks total.
I only got through to the first stage, where my experience didn't quite match what they were looking for. The next stage was a meeting with someone from their Sales department, and then there is a take-home task, followed by review and further interviews with more senior staff.

Question 1
Why do you think that you, in particular, would be better at this role than somebody else?
