I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2019
Interview
Received interview through internal referral. HR contacted me the next day, asking me to fill out some standard questions like salary expectation, willing to relocate, etc. 3 weeks later received request to schedule phone interview with hiring manager. The manager was really busy and they only told me the exact time 2 days before the interview day. Then they re-scheduled the time because of time conflict.
The manager called me and did not ask for self intro, nor did he give one about him and the team. Straightly go into behavioral questions. Sounded like he had a list of questions he had to go through. No deep dive into my experience, no interactions, just going through the list one by one. Feels more like a test rather than communication, that they try to make you to complete the questions, rather to getting to know you.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
What problem did you solve for your organization? What data did you have, what data was missing, and what did you do?
One HR screening, Phone screening, Loop interview with 5 People, Team matching interview. The loop interview was tiring since it was 45mins per interview, and you would have to provide examples for LPs.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
Generally conversational and asking about your resume and experience. After the assessment link is sent to you via HR, they can invite you for a phone screen. This phone screen generally lasts an hour.
They asked a lot of behavioral questions and it seemed like SQL/Data Analysis was heavily required. Would definitely recommend prepping all the common behavioral question. Also its important to know the core principles of Amazon
