Interview
Horrible. The interview hiring manager was off-camera and ate her lunch! Not one question about me as a person. It was the second interview in a series of 5 interviews.

Question 1
All questions need to be answered based on STAR. All situational questions.
After you submit your application, the recruiter contacts you followed by hiring manager depending on role. If you pass you enter what is known as the loop. This consists of 4 - 6 interviewers in multiple interviews. Overall process was smooth and well coordinated by recruiter.
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services in Apr 2023
Interview
Recruiter interview followed by 5 interviewers separately - each using STAR format & leadership principles. Although no salary shared prior to the interview process - they ask you to commit 6 hours + without having any rough confirmation for this. Also challenging to plan around a busy current day job. My experience for the 5 was each interviewer starting with asking why you want to work for AWS. Then reading questions from a set script, it felt like a majority asking very similar things - particularly around dealing with conflict / critical feedback / unpopular view, etc. The questions were followed up with "Ok, but why you" or "Why did you do that and nobody else". Very behavioural questions which were all very similar and not very job specific, sometimes feeling irrelevant. Overall it was an interesting process, and the team members interviewing all very friendly. However I found it difficult to elaborate when all the questions were so focused on one particular point / behaviour/ theme.
