I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2013
Interview
Interviewed with 4 different people, each was a 30 minute interview. One was technical asking about computer knowledge. Two were business/finance oriented as well as one strictly workplace conflict scenarios. One of the business ones also had normal conflict questions. It was kind of jarring because it wasn't necessarily a field I was going into, but I was called in because of database/programming knowledge. I felt rather judged by a few interviewers for not being a financial-focused candidate, although I wondered why they called me in if I wasn't what they were looking for (I didn't falsify or try to add any extra experience that would make me look more finance oriented). The internship itself required taking 6 months off from school to complete.
Financial analyst intern, online assessment was based on leadership principles, look at the website for these. Excel and SQL. Probability and analytic skills. Choosing the best reply in different scenarios etc.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2026
Interview
Straightforward process:
1. introduction 2. Why Amazon? Why ads? + three somewhat complex BQ questions 4. a short case study 5. My turn to ask questions.
Prepare your BQ really good and go learn the LPs cuz I definitely failed that part and was confused by myself during the storytelling.
A Virtual Hiring Manager call to discuss my background, evaluate role alignment, explore expectations, and determine next steps in the interview process through a focused, conversational video meeting. Interview was pretty challenging, its important to have succinct examples
