I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Berlin) in Jan 2018
Interview
The interview process lasted almost 3 months There have been a lot of cancelations for the 1st interview with HR but when finally the interview was held, the interviewer was very friendly and positive. It was more like an introduction to the company, the role and payment process.
The second interview was with the hiring manager. It was a short interview, reviewing my skills and experiences. The 3rd interview was on site, I was interviewed by 5 different people and all questions were incidental. You have to be prepared to indicate specific cases that you have demonstrate specific skills, you have to describe the case that you are questioned and then narrate your exact actions and thinking. It was exausting but from company's site..very professional. All the interviewers are keeping notes of your answers and then they meet and discuss about them
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxembourg)
Interview
Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months

Question 1
How did you manage a conflicting situation with a peer ?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2026
Interview
a quick recruiter call and a 45-min phone screen with a PM that was surprisingly heavy on behavioral questions and metrics. also had to submit a 2-page writing sample (kind of like a mini PR/FAQ) before moving forward. the onsite was a 5 round loop: product strategy, execution, analytical, technical, and the notorious bar raiser round. the bar raiser is the absolute filter imo - they pick one project and drill incredibly deep to see if you actually owned the results or just coasted along. every single round is heavily anchored to their leadership principles (LPs). overall, it felt very intense and data-driven; it’s way less about brainstorming flashy features and more about how you ruthlessly prioritize, handle blockers, and dive deep into metrics. for prep, i focused on mapping my past projects to multiple LPs and practicing data teardowns. i did a mock on Prepfully w amazon PM specifically for the bar raiser round and that honestly saved me. it helped me catch a major blind spot -was staying way too high-level with my impact instead of clearly explaining the exact data points, technical constraints, and tradeoffs i owned end to end

Question 1
Describe the time when you suggested a counterintuitive approach to a dilemma and how you realized it necessitated a new mindset.
Straight forward and simple getting to know each other questions. None of the questions were anything I haven’t been asked before or difficult to answer. The interviewer was nice and polite.
