Thorough and enjoyable process. In the final stage you will be interviewed against Amazon’s leadership principles in a series of competency style questions. Here the interviewers are really looking for cultural fit as well as ability to answer in detailed STAR format with a lot of emphasis on data you can point to in your examples. They will also probe and ask for further details/ clarifications so be prepared to be detailed! It is a unique process and intense but it also allows you to dive deep into Amazons culture and the opportunity to meet with a number of employees from different teams in the process of the final interviews and ask your own questions.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you were 75 percent through a project and had to pivot quickly. How did you handle it?
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Londen, Engeland)

Not hard, Mostly Leadership Principles. However, it really depends on the interviewer. I am not sure about others, but mine is very specific on my sales experience and asked about the deal size.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Sydney) in Mar 2026
Interview
Didn't get asked anything i was told to prepare for - prepared examples of leadership principles and i was asked general 'what would i do with critical information' - not really related to any particular leadership principle
