Applied for the Business Unit Financial Analyst role (Amazon Finance Rotation Program, AFRP) in mid-October, received online test link 1-2 weeks after, heard back about my interview in mid-March (very late).
Application: It’s very similar to a resume drop, you don’t need a cover letter
Online Test: Definitely a very peculiar test. It gives you scenarios of email requests that team members or managers could potentially send you and then you have to choose what actions you would take based on those scenarios. They basically want to know how you handle time management and teamwork. Overall, I didn’t get a sense of what the right answers could be (I had no idea that I had passed).
Interviews: I was scheduled for a final round interview without a pre-screen phone interview. The final round consisted of four 45 minute virtual interviews with finance managers and directors (with a 15 minute break in between interview 2 and 3). The interviews were completely behavioral questions, nothing to test your finance/Excel/SQL knowledge. I did not know who my bar raiser was since everyone was in finance/accounting. Some interviewers were more conversational than others but I did have a negative experience with one interviewer who kept interrupting me and seemed impatient (if that happens, make sure to remain polite and calm).
I heard back 2 days later that I was accepted into the AFRP program via email.
