I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
1 hour phone call with 2 questions that they want answered in STAR format. Then moved to Loop interviews where 5 members will interview you. Some ask 1 question and dig deep with several follow up "probing" questions. Others might ask for 6+ STAR stories. Intense across the span of a day but everyone is very kind, professional, and informative. Overall a very well outlined process that you are prepared for via email with your recruiting team.

Question 1
Tell me a time you used customer insights to inform a decision. Tell me a time sacrificed immediate wins for long term strategy. Tell me a time you simplified something other didn't see.
Interview process was long with several rounds at each level. I did feel prepared for each round as the recruiter I was working with was great at preparing me for each stage. Only reason I'm marking this as a poor overall experience, is at the offer level it felt like a bait and switch. I was incredibly transparent about my salary needs. The person that presented the offer was not the same recruiter I worked with throughout my process - it was significantly under my bottom line, and I was dismissed when I made an effort to negotiate. If comp was not a fit, I should have been told that from the start, as to not waste mine and everyone elses time.
