Oftentimes you can easily be granted an interview through a recommendation from a current employee if your CV is acceptable. This was the case for me. I had a screening call through an HR employee, which was relatively straightforward. She asked about my past experience and what type of role I was looking for. Based on this she put me forward for a role she deemed appropriate. Note that Amazon does not hire for roles necessarily based on skill for that role. More so based on the perceived fit with their leadership principles. This is good in the sense it opens doors for many people without the required skills, but bad in the sense that many people in the organization do not suit their roles and have a very basic understanding of their 'expert area' (ex: Marketing). I then was scheduled to have a call with the interviewer. He did not show up for the call. There were alter apologies from his PA and we rescheduled a new call (which he was also a tad late for). He seemed quite hostile from the offset, perhaps having a bad day. I did not get the role and was not given a chance to apply for another, as of course everything is based on your answers to the leadership principles and your interviewer's perception of your answers. It's a shame really, as I would have been better suited to alternate roles, but they don't really give you the chance.

Question 1
You can google many examples online, but they they all start with "tell me about a time you..." and are categorized into the leadership principle categories, so know these inside and out!
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.

No HR screen; you answer those questions over email. You do a ridiculous project simulation where you answer emails. Paradoxically it’s interesting yet cheesy at the same time. Very unique but not that difficult. Then the first real interview. Rarely with the direct hiring manager; usually someone else in the org but not this direct team. So it’s useless to research the department. In fact, it’s better to prepare your strong STAR examples. They probe deep, which is fine. They heavily expect numbers. The more you can spout out random numbers (it’s okay, no one will verify) the better. The final round is more of the same — Just more STAR interviews, 2 per session, 4 sessions total. The people in this round are even more critical and harsh than the previous rounds. All done by people who have worked here for 5+ years and have never left — or if they did they came from another FANG company. So they’re all typically arrogant and jaded and negative or on the way to getting there. Finally they all have this weird verbal communication style where they just talk on and on like they expect you to interrupt them — but it’s an interview so you have to be polite can’t interrupt them. So like what the heck.

1. Initial Screening: It begins with a recruiter sync.
2. The "Loop": It's a 5-to-6-round panel interview focusing on deep technical skills, system design, leadership principles, or domain expertise depending on the role.
