I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Worked with a recruiter who was great! Had an interview scheduled but it was cancelled by the company at the last minute. The application/personality test process was extensive and very detailed, took over two and a half hours to thoughtfully complete.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked if I had motion design experience (it was not listed in the job description).
The interview was a great experience and offered valuable learning opportunities. The interviewers were extremely kind, supportive, and helpful throughout the process. However, I realized the importance of staying highly focused and precise, especially when delivering STAR-based answers. Accuracy and clarity in structuring responses play a crucial role, and candidates should remain attentive to ensure their answers align with the question.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Long interviews, mainly behavioral questions. Overemphasis on STAR-format answers. Cold and overly formal structure that feels artificial and soulless. No feedback if you’re rejected despite all the time and effort you gave them.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you disagreed with management. Did you resolve the situation to benefit both parties?
