Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon (Seattle, WA) em jan. de 2022
Entrevista
I applied online through amazon.jobs, then was contacted by a recruiter. These are the steps I went through (as I passed each interview) 1. Initial phone interview with the recruiter 2. ~1 hour portfolio review with a manager and Senior UX Designer (from another team). The manager actually couldn't make it, so it was just the Sr UX Designer and I. 3. Online "on-site" interview (this was in 2022, so still remote at the time). I had to do a portfolio presentation for ~1 hour with 6-7 people - it could be more, but I was screen sharing. Next, I had 5 interviews with 1 or 2 people - one of the interviews was a design exercise with a UX Designer. I had the option of having them over 2 days instead of all in one day.

For any behavioral questions, it was mainly around your work and how it relates to Amazon's Leadership Principles. They recommend you use the STAR method to answer each one. The design exercise was about designing a canoe/kayak renting site.
Recruiter call, hiring manager interview then portfolio review then rigorous interview loop with portfolio review and whiteboard challenge all alluding to LPs and also has bar raiser questions, data is important

Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon (Bangalore Rural) em abr. de 2026
Entrevista
I reached the first video round (they call it phone screen) over zoom. This was after assessment and HR screening. HR teams was great at scheduling the interviews, but they still scheduled my interview a day early which i had not given that on my preference dates. In the mail it was told that it's a role competency based behavioural round with respect to amazon's leadership principles but my interviewer (from US time zone) conducted a mini portfolio round and asked me to present 2 case studies which i was not prepared for. Interviewer didn't care about any STAR method. Got a rejection mail within the timeline mentioned to hear back from them which was 2 days.

Entrevista
The interview process started with a recruiter screening where the recruiter explained the role, team structure, and the overall interview process. The recruiter also walked through Amazon’s Leadership Principles and explained how they would be evaluated during the interviews.
The first round was a 60-minute video interview with the hiring manager. The conversation focused mostly on behavioral questions aligned with Amazon’s Leadership Principles. The hiring manager asked several scenario-based questions about past projects, stakeholder management, and decision-making in complex environments. The interview also included discussion about my experience designing complex workflows and enterprise systems.
Later stages (as explained by the recruiter) include a functional interview with a senior designer where candidates present 1–2 portfolio projects, followed by a final loop consisting of a portfolio presentation, a whiteboarding challenge, and multiple behavioral interviews with different team members.
Overall the process is structured, leadership-principle driven, and heavily focused on real project examples and measurable impact.
