There was a huge focus on Amazon Leadership principles that were tested through STAR stories format. There was a total of 3 rounds. HR was very helpful in arranging and preparing me for interviews.
2 rounds went well. depends on who your interviewer is but make sure to know leadership principles. no technical exam but highlight any experience with technical skills. talk about any knowledge you know about amazon or aws
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Madrid) in Dec 2024
Interview
3 interviews focusing on LP and stories. The interviews themselves are more behavioral rather than technical but technical skills are assessed during your answers to the behavioral questions. Very strong emphasis on leadership principles and culture fit.
