I have a final interview loop at Amazon for an L6 position (non-tech) coming up. I also just found out I’ll need to complete a written interview couple of days prior. Can anyone give me any pointers/tips for either/both of these processes? Thanks! P.S. I am so nervous & anxious 😥

I wouldn’t worry about written stuff. Assuming it is asking you to describe a scenario from your work experience, pick the most interesting one and keep it in STAR format. Some interviewers may pick that scenario and ask you a question

Loops are 4-5 one hr rounds. Again scenario based and your responses should be in STAR format. Usual stuff applies, use “I” vs what your team did. Have an example where you failed. It’s ok to pause before responding. And they take a lot of notes, so be prepared to be provide quantifiable data when you can

Thank you!

My wife works for Amazon and interviews a lot. As the others have said, prepare 4-5 solid stories that can be used to cover the 16 principles. With a little bit of tweaking these 5 stories should be able to cover all principles. Practice saying them out loud. Avoid repeating the same stories during the loop - do it only if you absolutely must, and in case you must, tweak them to make them relevant to the principle being discussed.
Good luck, you got this!

Good luck! Can I ask how you got selected for an interview and what sort of position it is? I feel like I’m throwing applications into the void, even with referral.

Just more visibility with Hiring Managers & Recruiters I think. Even if it’s an initial conversation or phone screening. That’s just my opinion, it could also just be a fluke.

+1 to AWS’ responses. What helped me during my loop was that I asked for a few seconds to collect my thoughts. That way, you are organized and have full control over what you’re saying. My interviewers encouraged it. Also, I was explicit saying, hey - here’s the situation, here’s the task.. etc. this is important for the interviewer to document.
