I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2022
Interview
You apply online and complete a test to see if you’re able to perform the job. If you pass, you’ll have a preliminary call with the recruiter. The recruiter will talk you through the Amazon interview process and also who you’ll interview with. They also prep you with interview questions. Then, you have a call with the hiring manager. Once you pass, you go through three rounds of interviews with different people on the team and a bar raiser. Also, when you’re going through the interviews, you have to complete a writing test on your own time.

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublín, Dublín) in Mar 2026
Interview
Very positive experience. The down side was there were 6 rounds of interviews in total but they were scheduled close together. Communication was excellent and a huge amount of helpful resources provided to you to help you prepare.
Phone interview. Asked 4 typical question. The Amazon phone interview was structured and focused on behavioral questions using the STAR method. The interviewer was professional, asking about leadership principles, past challenges, and decision-making. It felt fast-paced yet conversational. I shared clear examples from my experience, highlighted results, and ended confident I demonstrated impact and fit.
