I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2021
Interview
For me they had two phone interviews. Both of them have the same format of behavioral questions. All of the questions are based on their principals and it can be found online. I cleared the first round but not the second. The answers needs to be very specific and they look for details.

Question 1
1. Tell me a time you solved a complex problem
2. Tell me a time you went outside your scope of responsibility.
3. Tell me a time you went outside your scope of work.
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
