I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (The Hague) in Nov 2023
Interview
I Got approached by a recruitment officer who suggested that I would be a good fir for the role, where I then sent my CV and letter of motivation, then after that, there were two back-to-back interviews for 1 hour each.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked some general questions at the start, such as: "Tell me about yourself" and "Why would you like to work for Amazon?". After these questions, they asked questions relating to their leadership principles and what I would do if I found myself in a scenario they had made up.
Behavioural questions they were mostly asking. You have to prepare beforehand. There are 2 interview steps. Both have the same structure. Better prepare some stories from work life. They are giving time slot sometimes for thinking about question

Question 1
Tell me a difficult situation you faced in previous job. And how you handled it, use STAR method
Lengthy interview process - At first I needed to create a profile on their public job portal and after applying I was contacted in about 2-3 working days by HR from Italy. All new employees must learn the 16 leadership principles starting to work, you will take a language assessment test depending on the role you applied. Afterwards the first part of the interview will be on the phone. If passed you need to go through a background check which takes about a month and if everything is ok they will contact you for the final 1 hour long interview.
The final part takes places either on-site or online and it’s with HR and management.
