I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2021
Interview
An Amazon recruiter reached out to me via Linkedin about this role. I figured the role wasn't good fit for me, but accepted the interview request. Even though the job did not align with my career aspirations, the job qualifications asked for many skillset I already possessed.
The overall interview structure was very well streamlined and headache free. Correspondences and inquiries with their recruiting gets answered in a very timely manner.
However, the person I interviewed with was one of my most dreadful person to speak with. The nicest thing he said during that whole interview was "How are you doing today?" in the opening. Ever since then, he just had that very condescending and diminishing language towards my background.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have any experience in equipment installations? How much commissioning have you done in the past?
In total I interviewed with about 10 people. By far the longest interview process I’ve ever undergone. The first interview was a standard phone screen. The subsequent interviews were more thorough spread across multiple days. On one day I interviewed with up to 6 people.
An online assessment, followed by an hour-long virtual screen, followed by 3 hour-long virtual interviews back-to-back. Almost all questions were behavioral, related to Amazon's Leadership Principles. Rounds were about two weeks apart, contacted very quickly after application.

Question 1
"Describe a time when you got more than halfway done with something and realized you had to start over"
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX) in Jul 2025
Interview
Long process - 3-6 months. All I can say is that you must be fluent in the Amazon Management Principles as well as knowing the STAR method. This helped tremendously throughout the process.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you.... etc and then it'll be about one of the management principles. They will also follow up and dig more and more about the STAR responses. So understand what you're saying.
