Conducted a phone interview initially which then resulted in on-site interviews.
Interviewed on-site with bar raisers and team. The questions were all behavioral. The bar raiser attended with a bar raiser trainee. The bar raiser experience was not good. The trainee was not personable. It felt like interviewing a cold mean robot who was on attack mode. The shadowing bar raiser seemed more mature and professional.

Question 1
The phone interview questions were about your experience as it related to the position whereas the on-site questions were all about tell me about a time you did this and how you handled that...all behavioral.
The bar raiser kept asking what would you have done differently after I already explained what I would have done differently. The follow up questions that the bar raiser asked did not make sense because the bar raiser had no knowledge of the domain for which I was interviewing.
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.

Question 1
Mention a time when you could give the customer what they asked for ?
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2026
Interview
No HR screen; you answer those questions over email. You do a ridiculous project simulation where you answer emails. Paradoxically it’s interesting yet cheesy at the same time. Very unique but not that difficult. Then the first real interview. Rarely with the direct hiring manager; usually someone else in the org but not this direct team. So it’s useless to research the department. In fact, it’s better to prepare your strong STAR examples. They probe deep, which is fine. They heavily expect numbers. The more you can spout out random numbers (it’s okay, no one will verify) the better. The final round is more of the same — Just more STAR interviews, 2 per session, 4 sessions total. The people in this round are even more critical and harsh than the previous rounds. All done by people who have worked here for 5+ years and have never left — or if they did they came from another FANG company. So they’re all typically arrogant and jaded and negative or on the way to getting there. Finally they all have this weird verbal communication style where they just talk on and on like they expect you to interrupt them — but it’s an interview so you have to be polite can’t interrupt them. So like what the heck.
