Any tips on preparing for behavioural interviews? I recently appeared for a gruelling 6 hour interview day at Amazon and felt I did well, but got a rejection. They don't provide feedback so any tips

From people who have cracked it would be appreciated

Sometimes you have to acknowledge the fact that there just isn’t a fit. There are externalities in every situation which are completely out of your own control. For your own peace of mind, continue to perform at your best, be your authentic self, and all of the cards will fall into place

Amazons really into their company culture/mission statement ie. dig deep, etc.

I’m an overpreparer, so for me, really knowing my story and experiences (in star format lmao) to the point where i can sound very natural while talking about them/without looking at notes is when I feel good. I also record myself, and if I have someone near me, I use their feedback. Typically your first run at answering a question is much less polished than your 5th, and the successive ones are much better when you/someone else listens and are able to pin point weak spots .

Good points. Thanks!

I did the same, the longest 6 hours of my life! Each person was suppose to quiz you on one of their 6 principals (or 10? Don’t remember now). All 6 have to say yes to let you in, however, if you impressed the manager/director enough, they will say “not now” and the recruiter will reach out about another role in the same org a couple weeks later.
