I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
Very straightforward process and lots of transparency on how to prepare. Recruiter phone interview and then interview with hiring manager. If passed onto there, there would be multiple interviews across different teams in one day. All interview questions and answers are based on Amazon's principles
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you led a project from start to finish. What were the results and how did you overcome any roadblocks?
OA, recruiter screen, HM and LOOP. probably more guidance on loop would have been better. Even after having a different example for every LP it still wasn't enough. I believe I too lacked a bit in my preparation. rather than focusing on job functions, focus on yourself and the work you have done!

Question 1
everything is about LPs. I interviewed for L5 role. there were a lot of "tell me about a time" questions. Make sure to answer in STAR else you loose them. Every question has a follow up questions. keep it data backed.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2026
Interview
I did a prescreen assignment that simulated the work environment (incoming "DMs" and "emails" about a project that you had to follow up on). A few days after that, I heard from the recruiter and went straight to a call with one of the team members, which was pretty casual. There was a writing assignment and then prep with the recruiter, who recommended not repeating examples (fair, although for me it was hard to come up with examples beyond my stable of "gold star" interview examples).
The technical loop interviews really caught me off guard. There were sooooooo many follow-up questions to every interview question. That's not inherently bad but I feel like there's a difference between asking follow-ups out of curiosity and asking because it's part of the interview criteria.

Question 1
Each interviewer asked questions related to the core principles, but unfortunately they don't tell you which 2-3 principles each interviewer is tasked with assessing. They were relatively standard interview questions about work experience, but as mentioned, there were so many follow-ups that it caught me off guard (e.g., you said you worked on a campaign, but which stakeholders did you work with, how did you communicate with them, how often did you communicate with them, etc.)
average to high difficulty level of the interview. had to frame responses in the STAR format which takes decent time to master so practice ahead of time and have your responses jotted down
