I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2011
Interview
Long interview day - multiple back to back interviews with no break. Tough questions and little time for my own questions. One interviewer not from finance. Rest from the team I was applying to plus other finance teams in the company.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
Generally conversational and asking about your resume and experience. After the assessment link is sent to you via HR, they can invite you for a phone screen. This phone screen generally lasts an hour.
They asked a lot of behavioral questions and it seemed like SQL/Data Analysis was heavily required. Would definitely recommend prepping all the common behavioral question. Also its important to know the core principles of Amazon
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me about my experience in dealing with big data (1M+ rows)
typical interview process, HR call, HM, and then loop interview of 5 rounds.
HR screen was straight forward. HM interview was focused on my background and a bit of LP questions. Loop interviews were 95% LP questions and 5% random excel questions.
