The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Philadelphia, PA) in Mar 2022
Interview
The application has math assentments (use Chegg) and surveys to get to know you. The interview was in 3 parts. 1st was a pre-brief, the recruiter just asked me to tell me about yourself and what your favorite tv show is. The second and third part was a one-on-one interview with the area managers., each asking 3 questions related to the Amazon leadership principles.
I prepared a lot for this interview, and many questions they asked so out of the blue, much different than what I expected. Make sure the use STAR format in those behavioral questions.
