The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2010
Interview
In the final round of the interview, I went to their corporate office in Seattle, 4 guys from the finance area interviewed me back-to-back. Each interview only lasted for about 45 minutes.
The questions were generally typical behavioral questions and one or two real problem solving discussions with the interviewer. I think this was to see the candidate's thought process. I don't think there was a right answer for these kinds of questions.
Get prepared for wide range of questions not specifically related to finance. Think of this position as general management position with very strong analytics.

One HR screening, Phone screening, Loop interview with 5 People, Team matching interview. The loop interview was tiring since it was 45mins per interview, and you would have to provide examples for LPs.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Apr 2026

Generally conversational and asking about your resume and experience. After the assessment link is sent to you via HR, they can invite you for a phone screen. This phone screen generally lasts an hour.
They asked a lot of behavioral questions and it seemed like SQL/Data Analysis was heavily required. Would definitely recommend prepping all the common behavioral question. Also its important to know the core principles of Amazon
