Colloquio
The process started with application on Amazon site, followed by online assessment, then a phone interview with the hiring manager. There would have been another round however I got rejected after the phone interview.
Phone interview consisted of SQL Coding (super easy) and behavioral questions related to Amazon’s values. Make sure you give concise answers here because I’m pretty sure I dragged on too long at this point causing the rejection.
Overall, about 2-2.5 hours of time for the above steps, excluding the next round in which I did not get selected for.
Disappointing since the interviewer had nothing but good things to say… but I guess that’s them being polite. Oh well, on to the next one.

The interview process includes a SQL test, an initial recruiter call, and a final five-round loop featuring technical questions and discussions focused on Amazon leadership principles with different team members.

They asked a key question focused on both technical depth and culture fit: how you apply your skills to solve real problems, along with examples demonstrating alignment with Amazon’s leadership principles.

Interviewed for Business Analyst role at Amazon and honestly the process felt exhausting and impersonal.
The interviewers seemed far more focused on checking boxes against the 14 Leadership Principles than actually understanding the candidate or having a genuine conversation. Almost every question was another version of a STAR behavioral scenario, even when it barely related to the actual role.
The process felt extremely rehearsed and rigid. There was little effort to make the candidate feel comfortable or valued, and it often felt like they had already decided the outcome before the interview even started.
Technical and analytical depth barely mattered compared to how perfectly you could package stories into Amazon’s preferred format. If you don’t have polished STAR stories memorized for every possible situation, the process can feel unnecessarily difficult and draining.
Overall, one of the most mentally exhausting interview experiences I’ve had.
