I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Very exciting and challenging. One of the interviewer was really nice and personable, the other (the bar-raiser I guess) asked some questions involved logical reasoning. Both of them answered my questions patiently and provided a lot of insights. The overall experience was wonderful. It is one of the most difficult interview I ever had.

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
