I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Bellevue, WA) in Jul 2024
Interview
I’m a non-technical Senior Program Manager at Amazon. The key to landing an interview is ensuring your resume reaches the hiring manager—ideally through a strong internal referral. Once that happens, you’ll typically start with an initial call with the recruiter and hiring manager. The most important stage, however, is the pod interview, where your focus should be on Amazon’s leadership principles. I recommend preparing at least four distinct STAR stories—one for each interviewer—without repeating any.

Question 1
They asked behavioral questions aligned with Amazon’s Leadership Principles. Use real-life examples from your past experience, support them with data and measurable results, and structure your answers using the **STAR format** (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
