I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
First, there are emails sent to me about the time and some background of Amazon
Second, the hiring manager directly interviewed for the first round and the Q&A last for 45 minutes around. Mainly about how would I do if meet several regular difficult situations in the Financial Analyst position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What will you trouble shoot if a big data sample got wrong?
Sorry I cannot recall clearly.
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.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2026
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
