How to prepare ?

Let’s walk through some helpful tips for the interview process.
Interview Tips

▪ About the team/position: The interview will be with the Hiring Team or Specialists for the
role, who will share more information with you about the position. From there, they will go
deeper into your experience and background. The questions will also consist of
functional/technical questions about your experience.

▪ The interviewers are attempting to simulate a real-life working environment.

▪ Amazon Leadership Principles: Be prepared to answer questions about your experience that
relate back to the Amazon Leadership Principles. Our interviews are rooted in behavioral-
based questions which ask about past situations and challenges you’ve faced and how you
handled them, using Leadership Principles to guide the discussion. Prepare at least 2 examples
per Leadership Principle.

▪ STAR method: Keep your answers structured and straight forward, directly related to the
interviewer’s questions. Amazon is a data-driven company so focus on the question asked,
ensure your answer is well-structured and provide examples using metrics or data if
applicable. This will help in understanding the impact of your actions and your examples in
general. Make sure to emphasize your actions, contributions and results. Reference recent
situations whenever possible. Learn more about our interview style in this Video: Interviewing
at Amazon.

▪ Questions: feel free to ask any questions about the role, the team, or how is it to work for
Amazon. This is a good opportunity to get to know more about the experience within the
company, and to clarify any doubts or questions you might have.

Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers. If you
have a disability and need an adjustment during the application and hiring process, please let me
know.
After your interview

▪ As per policy, you will be provided only with the result of the interview as we do not
provide specific feedback regarding the outcome.

▪ A few days after your final interviews, you will receive a satisfaction survey. We greatly
appreciate your feedback which will be recorded anonymously. The recruitment team will
