Interview
after the phone screen, you will come to campus and have four to six 45 minute interviews, one over lunch. usually each interview will focus on a different leadership principle, so determining early on what they're focusing on (i.e. think big, ownership, bias for action) will help structure your answers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
questions about supply and demand, how to predict demand, how to manage pricing for sale products, company culture (many answers should be answered in the context of our company leadership principles and values). they want to know how you think, how you creatively problem solve, and with an emphasis on being proactive and looking for new and creative ways to invent and simplify.
Financial analyst intern, online assessment was based on leadership principles, look at the website for these. Excel and SQL. Probability and analytic skills. Choosing the best reply in different scenarios etc.

Interview
Straightforward process:
1. introduction 2. Why Amazon? Why ads? + three somewhat complex BQ questions 4. a short case study 5. My turn to ask questions.
