I don't remember any difficult or unexpected questions. If you are a sales rep and have been on any interviews lately, be prepared for typical questions: Tell me about a difficult situation at work and how you handled it. What are 3 qualities you feel would be important for this position, and why? What would previous employees and coworkers say are your strengths and weaknesses and would you agree with them? Tell me about a time you were given advice or correction by a manager and how did you handle it? Tell me about how you handle stressful situations at work.... That sort of thing.

They put a lot of emphasis on the Amazon Leadership Principles, and ask that you respond with the STAR Method, so the best way is to just prepare as many scenarios as possible and try your best. Obviously Amazon is a top 10 Fortune 500, so they expect you to be someone who exceeds expecatations, not just meet them. It was a lot of questions that were "Describe a time you did this..." The question that trumped me was "Describe a time you set a goal, achieved it, weren't satisfied, and what would you do differently if you could go back" Overall generally I do better with in person interviews as this was all phone and video during this COVID situation so I don't know if that's what affected my results, although honestly I think my answers could have been better too.
