I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX) in Jun 2024
Interview
After the initial phone screening, you have an hour long initial interview and once you pass that you have a full day of interviews- 4 interviews, an hour long each with an hour off for lunch .

Question 1
Tell me about a time you used data to make a decision.
Interview process is lengthy. Starts with a phone interview. Recruiter can be very helpful in the process. The last leg of the interview is a four hour loop. Each hour with different interviewees. They will have a amazon leadership principle and they will ask behavioral questions in relation to that. Don’t repeat stories

Question 1
Tell me about a situation that was full of ambiguity.
Terrible, they said I would be swapped between managers for the first 8 months. No thank you. Total disrespect for my time and the team members involved. Bullet dodged thankfully.
They’re asking for a lot of prep for a role that doesn’t seem to match the pay. For that kind of compensation, the interview should be simpler - maybe just a two-part process with basic questions. That’s what it feels like it’s worth
