Question 1
They won't ask you directly about the leadership principles, but they advise you to answer questions about your experience with those principles in mind.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me, scheduled a call, and then sent me an Online Assessment. Signing up just for that involved acknowledging I could be fired at any point, red flag #1. Pressured me to complete the 3hr OA before the call in three days' time - the OA was dystopian with an email inbox simulation and the personality test. I had one easy/medium and one hard question for the coding challenge. I didn't complete the hard one so the recruiter cancelled the meeting invite without any message whatsoever. Role also wasn't advertised in my city and when I clarified this they didn't correct the ad but said that it was - I think they wanted to meet a quota. Very weird experience, many red flags. Was not a good culture fit.
