I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Culver City, CA) in May 2025
Interview
Fairly intensive virtual test is the first step that takes ~2 hours to complete. From there is an interview with a recruiter, then interview with a hiring manager, then panel, and then their "Loop" which was round robin multiple interviews with team members & managers.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you raised the bar and went above and beyond in a work project.
I got contacted by a recruiter and then one interview with the hiring manager! That was really it because they were rushing to place someone, super quick and took about 2 weeks total.
I only got through to the first stage, where my experience didn't quite match what they were looking for. The next stage was a meeting with someone from their Sales department, and then there is a take-home task, followed by review and further interviews with more senior staff.

Why do you think that you, in particular, would be better at this role than somebody else?
