I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (New Delhi) in Jul 2023
Interview
Good but very lengthy based on old principles ..The company asks the prospective employee to align himself on english in support of their leadership ideology so one needs to lie confidently. To be frank honesty would not work as actually the interview is based not on practicality they want to hear yes you showed /have backbone and opposed your senior unnecessarily when you both could talk it out to reach to common consensus , they want to hear I will do my idea implementation without bothering about the stakeholders buyin so the base of interview is weird not on work , accomplishments , references and exposure but only on how english aligns to what they want to hear .Lie blandly and do not bother about logic to clear the principles round.
Do note They do lay off 10-15% yearly through PIPs hence better go thrpugh reference of boss as staying in company for long like salesforce , google , MSFT etc is not easy per my knowledge so internal politics might for sometime initially be a challenge to survive.
Apart from massive layoffs announced recently.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you demonstrate having backbone principle if your leader doesnt agree to you on something ? No talking to him , hearing him out and aligning on something together is not the correct answer.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview process starts with a prerecorded video interview. You receive the questions on your screen, record your answers, and upload the video. If you move on, the next round is a virtual interview with a real person on Microsoft Teams. The questions are pretty straightforward—they mainly ask about your previous experience and include a few behavioral questions using the STAR format.

I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The process took around 4 weeks from application to offer. It began with an online assessment focused on logical reasoning and marketing case analysis, followed by two virtual interviews and one final panel with senior managers.
The first round was with HR — mainly behavioral and background questions:
“Tell me about yourself.”
“Describe a campaign you managed and what metrics you used.”
The second round was a functional interview with two marketing managers. They went deep into analytical thinking and creativity — one question was:
They wanted structured thinking, consumer insight, and local market awareness.
The final round was panel-style (3 interviewers). It felt conversational but intense — they probed on cross-functional collaboration, brand guardianship, and how to handle disagreements with senior stakeholders.
Overall impression:
Interviewers were professional, sharp, and respectful. Every question felt intentional, and they genuinely wanted to see how I think rather than test memorized answers. The pace was fast but not stressful.
