I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Jun 2019
Interview
Applied through employee referral, had a round of phone screening with the recruiter, and then the hiring manager. Post this a series of interviews were lined up but after the 3rd interview, they kept rescheduling and delaying, until one of the panelists was a no-show. Spent an entire day calling HR and they finally got back at night, to tell me it's a no-go. They really need to train their recruiters with the LPs
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Questions based on Leadership Principles: How/When you demonstrated those in your current/past roles
Behavioral Based Questions: Almost all panelists asked this. They will pose questions and then deep dive into it, so be prepared to talk about the situation you select for at least 25-30 minutes.
Overall the communication started out strong from the recruiter but then I did not hear anything regarding the interview scheduling. Apparently I was too late into the process after all, and did not get an interview.
My interview process began with an online assessment, followed by a panel loop of five consecutive interviews. The rounds focused heavily on the company's Leadership Principles using STAR-method behavioral questions, including a "Bar Raiser" to ensure candidates exceed the current team's average.

Question 1
All the questions were related to my previous experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Brisbane) in May 2026
Interview
I applied online. After about a week or two, a recruiter from Amazon phoned me and we spoke for about 45 minutes. He was very pleasant to speak to, we covered some basics around the role and its expectations, and he laid out the next steps in the interview process, including the STAR method. The second step was a line manager interview where he focused on details of past projects and lessons / outcomes. The next step (which I didn't make it to) would have consisted of several interviewers asking different types of questions, and at this stage you don't need to satisfy each interviewer. I presume after this they give you a result. Much of what is documented online aligns with my experiences.
