Great post, thanks for sharing! Wanted to add some notes as I used to be a recruiter for Amazon and I think they may be helpful. 100% agree that often times, the behavioral interview can be the most difficult. There's a lot of subjectivity with evaluating it, so it can be tough, but Amazon does try to make it as objective as possible. They do that by evaluating your use of data and trying to see how you make data-driven decisions. The example question about a time where you disagree with your boss is almost in every interview and interviewers are looking for a few things (not all inclusive): 1. Can you disagree tactfully 2. Can you provide data to backup why you disagree 3. What's the outcome? Do you just accept your boss's word as law? Do you go rogue and do it anyways? Do you find a compromise? If you can showcase data-driven decision making (and understand that qualitative data is still data), then you'll go a long way!

Thanks for sharing this! Yeah Amazon’s behavioral interviews are tricky. I admire how well thought out and rigorous they are. Your comment adds some great insight!
