I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2016
Interview
First, I had a phone interview that focused on my resume and experience. Then I was asked to complete a case study & excel analysis before coming in for an office interview with 4 45-minute interviews back to back.
I came in moderately prepared and thought the interviews weren't as bad as some reviews made it seem. However, you must eat, sleep, breathe those principles! Overall, it was a good experience and I'm happy with how far I got in this process.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to work with a difficult group member, and how you went about that.
Financial analyst intern, online assessment was based on leadership principles, look at the website for these. Excel and SQL. Probability and analytic skills. Choosing the best reply in different scenarios etc.

Interview
Straightforward process:
1. introduction 2. Why Amazon? Why ads? + three somewhat complex BQ questions 4. a short case study 5. My turn to ask questions.
Prepare your BQ really good and go learn the LPs cuz I definitely failed that part and was confused by myself during the storytelling.
A Virtual Hiring Manager call to discuss my background, evaluate role alignment, explore expectations, and determine next steps in the interview process through a focused, conversational video meeting. Interview was pretty challenging, its important to have succinct examples
