I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Wilmington, DE) in Sep 2025
Interview
Assessment testing math, character, and leadership proclivities followed by three-interview set with knowledgeable professionals one or more levels above the position being interviewed for. Interviewers were very relaxed and just as willing to share about themselves and their experiences, which will be immensely helpful once hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced a problem with multiple possible solutions. How did you decide what to do, and what was the outcome?
Star Method and Leadership Principles. Just study these from the materials they give you, and form a story for each principle, and when they ask questions, you can see which principle they are asking about.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced a conflict or disagreement at work and how did you handle it?"
Multiple online tests after application, followed by a virtual interview with various staff. Staff did not want to be on camera and did not have many good things to say about working there.
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
