I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2024
Interview
It begins with a recruiter screen to assess your experience, interest, and LP alignment. This is followed by one phone screen interview that combine behavioral questions with HR kind of questions.
The final stage is the “loop,” consisting of five virtual interviews with cross-functional leaders. Each round lasts about 45–60 minutes and includes deep dives into product vision, prioritization, stakeholder management, and technical feasibility, along with behavioral questions tied to LPs. One interviewer serves as the “Bar Raiser,” ensuring candidates meet Amazon’s high hiring standards. After all interviews, feedback is consolidated by a hiring committee, which makes the final decision before extending an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you prioritize features for a product roadmap when faced with competing demands from stakeholders, limited resources, and tight deadlines? Can you walk me through your framework or approach?
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.

Interview
No HR screen; you answer those questions over email. You do a ridiculous project simulation where you answer emails. Paradoxically it’s interesting yet cheesy at the same time. Very unique but not that difficult. Then the first real interview. Rarely with the direct hiring manager; usually someone else in the org but not this direct team. So it’s useless to research the department. In fact, it’s better to prepare your strong STAR examples. They probe deep, which is fine. They heavily expect numbers. The more you can spout out random numbers (it’s okay, no one will verify) the better. The final round is more of the same — Just more STAR interviews, 2 per session, 4 sessions total. The people in this round are even more critical and harsh than the previous rounds. All done by people who have worked here for 5+ years and have never left — or if they did they came from another FANG company. So they’re all typically arrogant and jaded and negative or on the way to getting there. Finally they all have this weird verbal communication style where they just talk on and on like they expect you to interrupt them — but it’s an interview so you have to be polite can’t interrupt them. So like what the heck.
