J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon en août 2012
Entretien
I applied online end of July and got an email to schedule a phone interview 15 days later. I had a 45 minutes phone interview with a person of the team. That went well, 10 days later I was asked to schedule another phone interview with an HR person.
After that, I got an email saying they were willing to go further and schedule a whole day of interview. This day was planned for end of september.
I had 5 interviews (including an HR person) from 10 am to 4 pm (with a break at 1 pm, alone), and an Excel test.
All the interview questions were behavioural questions, as written below.
The Excel test aims at using some basic functions as vlookup or pivot tables, and be a bit strategic (nothing difficult).
The interviews lasted about 45 minutes, a bit more for the Excel test.
I really had no fit with the people I met, everybody seemed very stressed and under pressure. Nobody asks about who you really are (hobbies, choices in your career), recruitement is based on your abilities to answer behavioural questions with details and numbers.
After 3 on site interviews I had no motivation and interest left, so I think I performed badly during the 2 other meetings. That explains why I did not have any offer. I have no regret as the atmostphere of the company did not seduce me at all.
The HR staff told me I would have an answer after 1 week but they called me 3 weeks after only to give me the result of my interviews and explain (with details) why it did not work.
Apart from that the whole process was very professional.

Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months

J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en mai 2026
Entretien
a quick recruiter call and a 45-min phone screen with a PM that was surprisingly heavy on behavioral questions and metrics. also had to submit a 2-page writing sample (kind of like a mini PR/FAQ) before moving forward. the onsite was a 5 round loop: product strategy, execution, analytical, technical, and the notorious bar raiser round. the bar raiser is the absolute filter imo - they pick one project and drill incredibly deep to see if you actually owned the results or just coasted along. every single round is heavily anchored to their leadership principles (LPs). overall, it felt very intense and data-driven; it’s way less about brainstorming flashy features and more about how you ruthlessly prioritize, handle blockers, and dive deep into metrics. for prep, i focused on mapping my past projects to multiple LPs and practicing data teardowns. i did a mock on Prepfully w amazon PM specifically for the bar raiser round and that honestly saved me. it helped me catch a major blind spot -was staying way too high-level with my impact instead of clearly explaining the exact data points, technical constraints, and tradeoffs i owned end to end

Question 1
Describe the time when you suggested a counterintuitive approach to a dilemma and how you realized it necessitated a new mindset.
Straight forward and simple getting to know each other questions. None of the questions were anything I haven’t been asked before or difficult to answer. The interviewer was nice and polite.
