Candidate-reported interview process

the interview was friendly and professional, they seemed to want to get to know me. the questions were about my previous job experience. i wish i had studied a bit more, but it was a good experience overall.

I had a phone screening using Chime, it was video-on and went for about 40 minutes. The person interviewing me asked about 2-3 of Amazon’s Leadership Principles and a few follow-up questions, plus some stuff about my background with big data. No actual technical questions were asked during this part.

I had two interviews back-to-back. One was a technical interview where they asked about product management and statistics. The other was supposed to be a behavioral interview focusing on leadership principles, but it was unexpected when they asked me technical questions since they mentioned there would be two behavioral interviews.
