I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
1 pre-screening by hiring manager, 1 telephone interview by Senior TPM, Onsite interview with Hiring Manager (other 4 scheduled interviews didn't happen as the interviewers hadn't been informed upfront by the Recruitment / HR team !) Expecting another 5-6 onsite interviews in next few days / weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Telephone Interview was more situational: Tell about a situation where you had to deal with something and how did you handle it, what was the outcome?
Onsite interview was mostly related to prior experience, not sure how the remaining onsite interviews would proceed
El proceso es largo, en total son en promedio 7 entrevistas, de las cuales 5 son en loop, lo que significa que estas 5 entrevistas pueden ser el mismo dia, una tras otra, de una hora cada una
Followed the same Amazon process intial meeting with a recruiter, then multiple rounds with various team members, and the hiring manager. They use the STAR method or variations to answer with the situation, the challenge you faced, then the actions you take, and the result. If you don't use that format, you will not get positive feedback from the interviewer.

Question 1
Questions around handling difficult situations or how to handle disagreements within the team were a common theme.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
Recruiter screening friendly. Consistently great experiences with recruiters. Got HM interview but HM didn't do the interview. Guy who did lacked the background to assess my background in AI/ML. Amazon is now kicking people out of ATS for 6 months for related roles if you don't progress.
