At what point is too much prep?? I think reading about how grueling the Amazon interview process is has sent me into a spiral lol. Interview is tomorrow and can someone just tell me it really isn’t as bad as everyone says it is??! 😂😭

My take for anything is do enough to eliminate any “what if” regrets. I don’t like living with regret when it’s because I could have done more.

Quite honestly outside the number of interviews which is excessive …the behavioral interview style is standard. I didn’t have to do any more “prep” than I normally would for an interview. Behavioral interview are standard at many large orgs..in actually Amazon makes it easier by giving you the competencies that they will be interviewing against (Leadership Pricinpals). The recruiters are very transparent in what the leaders are looking for and If you follow that you should be fine.
It was actually a less stressful interview for me and I got an offer. The only annoying thing was the time invested and number of interviews. Good luck !

You’re totally right! I needed to over prepare because I’ve been at the sane company for 14 years so I’m a bit rusty when it comes to interviewing! Still waiting to hear but should be today or tomorrow!

I have a loop coming up as well and can’t tell how much is enough. Maybe only once we go through the interview

Same boat. Decided to treat them like any other company. First call will be an easy “tell me about your work history” call. Said I would find out in a few days if they wanted a “real”phone interview.

Good luck!!!

So how’d it go for everyone?

I think it went well. Not perfect, but don’t know how else I could have prepared! Certainly a very long day and I had a large glass of wine immediately when finished!
