I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2014
Interview
One phone interview (45minutes) -> 2 in-person interviews at their campus, 45 minutes each: 1 behavioral asking about past experience using data, how to communicate issues, how to deal with failure, how to prioritize work. The other interview was about the case given to interviewees in days prior to the interview, it was managerial accounting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please justify your case recommendation in detail and why did you choose to focus on those aspects.
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
