All of my interviews were behavioral. All of them were focused on Amazon's Leaderships principles. You've got to know these principles inside out, and have multiple examples for each ( I personally had 4 -5 examples for each leadership principle).

At the on-site interview each of the interviewers asked a question aligned with one of the Amazon Leadership Principles. Hardly any of the interview was spent on technical skills (maybe this was because of my bona fides in my discipline).
