Candidate-reported interview process

Easy- Simple questions about yourself, what you do. Overall it was an easy interview and they didn’t grill too much. I was interviewing for their Dubai branch, which was conducted online. First I had an HR round, and then a round with the hiring manager.

Sao 5 entrevistas de 1 hora. Cada pessoa faz pelo menos 2 perguntas situacionais, baseadas nos leadership principles. Eles fazem muitas perguntas subsequentes, para ir bem no detalhe, entao importante ter dados e lembrar tudo que aconteceu. O metodo de resposta deve ser STAR: Situation, Task, Action, Result.

Amazon interview questions are mainly behavioral questions aimed to evaluate candidates against the company's 14 Leadership Principles using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). You can expect to respond to questions like "Tell me about a time you failed at work" or "How do you manage a disagreement with a coworker?", with a focus on sharing concrete, data-focused examples from your past experience.
