I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Pullman, WA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Submitted resume to amazon.com -> received email requesting interview -> set up phone interview.
The questions weren't hard but I was the last the interview of the day and I could tell that the person interviewing me was in a rush. She called 15 minutes late, cut me off multiple times, didn't speak English well, and she claimed to have an MBA in finance but she didn't know what a mutual fund was.
I thought despite these conditions the interview went well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you put a cap on the number items a seller is allowed to have on the amazon marketplace? And what would be the criteria for selecting which items stays on the marketplace if this limit was imposed and sellers were over the limit.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
The process consisted of a technical and behavioral round. Although the recruiter stated it would cover SQL and behavioral topics, the interview focused entirely on scenario-based and behavioral questions without a live SQL technical assessment. Communication after the interview was poor; the recruiter did not respond to follow-up emails, and an automated rejection notice was sent two days later.

They asked a key question focused on both technical depth and culture fit: how you apply your skills to solve real problems, along with examples demonstrating alignment with Amazon’s leadership principles.
