Entrevista
I have filled in 100 plus applications in Amazon, that shows how much I admire the company and want to be a part of it.Finally I get an interview and after a month long process , I finished my virtual onsite interview only to get an email that the position was FILLED IN INTERNALLY. Disappointment is an understatement in this situation. I would like to mention I am working full time already and took too much time out everyday to prepare for the technical sql round and all the behavioral questions on leadership principles. I took a PTO to do the virtual onsite interview. If you already had an internal candidate why would you put me through the process and get my hopes up??Isn't this cruelty??6 interviews in a month only to tell me you would hire internally???Do they understand how much a candidate sacrifices to really shine in an interview? My whole outlook and admiration for this company and its hiring process has taken a 360 degree turn. You just lost yourself a great potential employee. I will be taking the other offers I have received and never applying here again.

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.

Entrevista
Interviewed for Business Analyst role at Amazon and honestly the process felt exhausting and impersonal.
The interviewers seemed far more focused on checking boxes against the 14 Leadership Principles than actually understanding the candidate or having a genuine conversation. Almost every question was another version of a STAR behavioral scenario, even when it barely related to the actual role.
The process felt extremely rehearsed and rigid. There was little effort to make the candidate feel comfortable or valued, and it often felt like they had already decided the outcome before the interview even started.
Technical and analytical depth barely mattered compared to how perfectly you could package stories into Amazon’s preferred format. If you don’t have polished STAR stories memorized for every possible situation, the process can feel unnecessarily difficult and draining.
Overall, one of the most mentally exhausting interview experiences I’ve had.
The basic STAR format, but the team was not clear about what they were looking for. The recruiter was not very responsive and took a long time to schedule the calls
