There were officially 2 rounds of interviews but I also connected with the recruiter 3 times. First time, recruiter reached out after I applied and told me I had the right background, asking about my availability. I didn't hear back for 3 months, and then the recruiter called back to schedule my interview. Third time was interview prep by the recruiter (one thing I like about Amazon interview process). After that I had 2 different interviews (virtual). Amazon interviews are the same and you can see sample questions on the internet. Amazon looks for 3 things - 1. Ownership - interviewers don't want to hear "we did this", or "we increased...". No WE in the interview - it is YOU. Answer the questions by saying "I did this or that" It has to be I, rather than we. Even while working for Amazon and had to give a presentation about my job, my boss reminded me to always use I (not we or "me and my managers"). 2. Secondly, just follow the answer process the recruiter teaches you - explain the problem, explain what you did to resolve and explain the benefit (put a dollar value or time/money value on everything). For example, "I saved the company $X" or "I increased revenues by $X" or "I cut the time for XXXXX by 50%). 3. Leadership principles! Amazon has leadership principles which your recruiter will give you/explain to you. Always use, at least, one of these principles when answering an interview question. Craft your answers so that they reflect 1 or 2 leadership principles.

The interview process includes a SQL test, an initial recruiter call, and a final five-round loop featuring technical questions and discussions focused on Amazon leadership principles with different team members.
