I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Oct 2021
Interview
There are three initial phone screenings, one with the recruitment team (who explains the process), one with the hiring manager, one with a senior member of the team. After that, a panel with 5 different interviewers, all asking different and complimentary questions, to determine adherence to the company culture and skills. Everything is done very quickly. They promise fast responses and they deliver.

Question 1
Tell me about the most challenging problem you’ve solved
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.
