I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2017
Interview
The interview was over the phone with a person from a finance department. In order to prepare for the interview I reviewed the comments on Glassdoor (three types of questions: behavioral, technical, company-specific), looked at the annual report, company news, read a book "One Click" and analysed the job description.
The interviewer was asking questions for 20-25 minutes, I used remaining 20 minutes to ask about the job and the division.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Tell me about a conflict at work. Tell me about your partnerships at your previous jobs. Tell me about a challenge and how you overcame it. Tell me about a process you improved. Tell me about a complex financial model you prepared.
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
