Leadership Program Interview Questions

7,516 leadership program interview questions shared by candidates

A lot of "tell me a time when" style questions based on the Amazon Leadership Principles. Talking about your experiences and how you handled situations was almost exclusively the style of questions. I was applying in Germany, so part of the interview was in German (they want a B2 level minimum), this was a much bigger part of the Ops interview than HR had indicated it would be in my initial screening interview. Also, Ops were very interested in how you had used "models" to structure your decision making in previous experiences (i.e. 6-sigma and Spaghetti-maps etc etc). I found this a bit irrelevant and frustrating because the 'on-campus' visitors had been very clear that they spend a long time in the on-boarding process training you in the models Amazon uses internally.

While no single question is difficult you have to prepare for dozens of possible behavioral questions. The interview wears you down as the interviewer repeatedly bombards you with scenarios. Sometimes there can be numerous follow-up questions on a single scenario.
