Amazon AWS Loop Interviews

Question

Hi all! Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

I'm preparing for my first (and hopefully my last) Amazon loop experience with the company's AWS segment. Does anyone have recommendations for identifying the leadership principle they're looking to have you respond to or any other tips before I step into the gauntlet? Were there any particular YouTube videos or other resources that you found really helped when you were going through the loop?

Many thanks in advance and cheers to everyone!! :)

Found levels blog super helpful for my interviews, particularly for Amazon. This post goes over interview tips, the STAR method, and other ways to prep: https://www.levels.fyi/blog/amazon-leadership-principles.html

Hey TomYour recruiter will contact and tell you explicitly which to focus on. If they haven’t, get in touch and ask. They typically do a briefing call once they have a slot booked in. Do you know what level role it is? You will typically have a number if interviews based on the level. In terms of prep, really master the art of responding in the STAR format and use evidence points/ statistics and outcomes. There’ll likely be a “bar raiser” who will be assessing to see if you can “raise the bar” as a new hire - keep an eye out for that person (try asking your recruiter who it is)Hope that helps - good luck!

Customer Obsession Qs will show up for sure. Also checkout Diego Granados YouTube channel below for Amazon STAR type questions and answers. Good luck!

Good luck. It is really a painful interview - be ready for 5hrs interview back to back. Then you will feel horrible to find out you dont make it.
