Interview
Amazon uses the STAR method for interviewing and expect candidates to bring examples and prior situations and provide inputs based on Leadership Principles of the company. These include Bias for Action, Customer Obsession and Think Big. Be prepared for a quick intro at the start.
This was four interviews with four different people within a three hour interview in total. Each person worked in a different part of the company. They all started with asking me to introduce myself, tell a bit about myself. The questions were situation based.
