Describe a time you were unable to deliver on a commitment and how you handled it.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2026
Interview
The interview was made up of 3 different 45 minute sessions managers and HR. It was pretty repetive with each interviewer wanting me to give them the 2 minute get to know you and then answering a bunch of behavioral based questions. Felt very informal and laid back which was a similar vibe to the interview that I did for the internship version of this role which I got. Still was rejected though, not sure why.
Interview process is too structured. You have to word your answers exactly how they want it which makes it robotic and less human. It’s more about being a good story teller.
It was a very long interview 3 sessions took about 2 hours to complete. 3 interviewers about 40 minutes each, they were friendly and the questions were what you would expect
