I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Portland, OR) in Dec 2022
Interview
They follow STAR format and base their interview questions on the leadership principles. You should train stories to tell ahead of time and review company principles. In my case it was a panel with 3 interviewers. It depends on the location, it can go up to 4 people in a panel.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you went above and beyond on your role?
All virtual. STAR interview questions (situation task action result). Think of examples of tough situations you had to deal with. I think I had 2 or 3 interviews before I got an offer. Pretty smooth process overall.
or an Amazon Level 4 (L4) Area Manager phone interview, you will face 2 to 3 main behavioral questions, alongside a highly possible operational math screening question. Because L4 is typically an entry-level management role (often targeted at recent college graduates or individuals with early-stage leadership experience), the focus shifts heavily toward potential, basic problem-solving, and your ability to lead groups of people
STAR method is a must. very results focused so add what you contributed. had 3 back to back interviews that were quick and they spent most of the time reading and taking notes
