Thanks so much for your tips, I used them all of them, unfortunately after panel interviews they wished me good look and success. But after 4 days they said, no, we don't want u :(. Context: They were a bit rude in the interview they did wrong it supposed they should not ask me directly about Amazon principles, but they did, the 2/4 they asked me like answer my question with these two principles... I felt that I performed well in the interview, especially with my English communication, despite the interviewers mainly speaking Spanish. However, their superior attitude and unprofessional gestures in response to my experience were disappointing. I used the STAR method to provide clear examples, but they didn’t seem to understand or appreciate them, insisting I hadn’t used the exact wording of an Amazon principle. I even gave another example to explain how I applied the principle, but their reactions made it seem like they weren’t fully engaged. Given their six years of experience at Amazon, I expected a more professional approach.

Hello, I am in a similar situation. I interviewed for Product Manager and had full interview & mini loop but the recruiter mentioned that the team feels that I am more a program manager vs product manager and that they want to know if I am ok if they can find a fit. I dont have specifics of why they thought so, what signals I didnt provide and how can i convey that i do not want the program manager shift and would only like to contine the current career track. What happens with this decision?

Thanks again and again for highlighting all the nuances in the Amazon interview process. As it is very evident, things are not as black and white as one would expect. Just wondering if someone would have fallen under no hire-no recycle, should not be the cooling period thing be detailed out to him. In my understanding are the below the only three outcomes of a loop- a) Hire and offer b) No hire- recycle c) No hire- cooling period As a candidate, understanding the last 2 options must be tricky. How exactly do I know whether I have been recycled or not? What do you make out of the below message after the panel interview I was not selected. e.g. Your skills and experience are valuable, and we encourage you to stay in contact for future openings. Your profile will remain active in our database, and with your consent, we may reach out for opportunities that align with your skill set. Please keep an eye on our careers page for future job postings. My second question is b) When I apply for other roles now, do the other recruiters/hiring managers get to know that I have been recycled based on the previous panel/loop. Otherwise, I am just like another applicant and have no advantage.

For the interview through chime should i share the screen?

While attending Interview through chime online and thoughout the interview loop, is it mandatory to look at camera and speak or is it fine to look at the screen and answer the responses?

How do I know which level the job is for and what package can I expect. Do they change level basis years of experience and skills

I have an Amazon UK interview this week and finding your videos helpful

Is it fine if the story lenght exeeds 10 minutes or should i focus on finishing it within 7 to 10 min?

I liked the video, gave it a thumbs up, and subscribed!

Thank you for the useful tips❤ I will share with you if I get an offer in a couple of weeks

Hello Gigi, thank you for the knowledge you are providing us. I have had a poor experience with the HM, she did not ask any LP question, instead asked normal questions of the day to day task and the most innovative solution I have implemented and that's it, no any other questions, she had her camera off, I thought I did great since the questions were simple and I have showed all my skills and innovations done, through STAR method, still was rejected, it was for a Senior PM role, I only received this email "Thank you for speaking with us about the position...After careful consideration, we have decided not to progress with your application for this role. While we're unable to provide additional feedback or information about this decision, we would like to keep in touch regarding future job opportunities. Thanks again for your interest in working at Amazon." Nothing after, no any email or call. Does this mean I can keep applying? I have already applied for two other roles and I can see them clearly on the job board as submitted. Appreciate your help, it was a tough month and a half were I passed the recruited phone screen, online assessment, and failed the HM still not sure why, most prob she did not properly understand my skills and experience.

For the Sr Program Manager (Non- Tech) role, does the interviewer asks specifically about the techncial questions like How I Used Excel VBA and Macros or linear Programming Algorithms that I have used in my previous projects? Like specifically above the coding stuff

what if the bar raiser wants to hire the candidate and hiring manager does not?

I just finished my interview for 5 hrs today for a manager role at Amazon and the final person (regional manager) went over by 40 mins - almost 6 hours sheesh

while providing the response in STAR format, is it fine to explicility mention the leadership principle that I have used in my action part ? example: "This experience highlights my alignment with Amazon’s leadership principles of Invent and Simplify" OR " This aligns with Dive Deep, as I used detailed data analysis to gain insights"

I watched so many of your videos, but still failed my loop. My interviewers were rude even. Not sure I want to work for a company with people like that.

Thank you so much. I appreciate the time, the efforts, and the nuggets shared.

GG, with all due respect to your experience, I find it rather naive to think that a delay in response after the 5-business-day deadline has no relation to the outcome. It's evident that the HR team's energy and priority will be focused on notifying the candidates who passed and will receive an offer, rather than those who didn't make it. If HR has to choose between the two, they will undoubtedly concentrate on the candidates who were successful.

What are the leadership principles i should focus on for a sr. Product compliance position ?

Incredible Content..!! Thank you GG n Vivek 🙏

Hi GG , Thanks for lot for posting really insightful videos behind amazon interview process. I have my telephone interview for a TAM role scheduled for September. Can you please advise how many stories are expected in this round ?

Hi GG! Thank you for sharing such valuable details on how to prep for "Tell me about yourself". I have a 45 minute phone interview scheduled next week. This is for the role "Financial Analyst III". Please could you give me tips on how to prepare for it and also the next up-coming rounds?

Hi do you have any insight for the interview for the AFP program. I did the interview, used all the suggested, techniques, thought I aced it but didn't receive an offer.

Hello, 3 days after my Amazon LOOP interview, I received an Email from the recruiter congratulating me on the positive feedback for my interview, but unfortunately unable to offer me the position because someone else filled the position. I noticed that the position was no longer available even before my LOOP. They said that they will put me in the bench pool and that if available position comes, they will contact all the people in the bench pool before making the position public. I am worried, hope they will remember to get back to me? I practiced really so hard for this LOOP

Wow!!! Thank you so much. Little wonder I was unable to fix it all in, in 60 seconds.

If we get offer and should we ask them we will be joining them after a month notice or we should directly join asap.

Thank you for the video. can we repeat the examples for " tell me when" types questions to different interviewers in different rounds?

I watched as many of your videos as I could pack in while prepping for my interview and I got word today that I got the job!

Ahh, I was part of a pool of roles. I originally applied to a Front-End Engineer I role but they swapped me to a Front-End Engineer II role before the final round of 5 interviews. Just got a "Rate your Recruiting Process" email 2 weeks after my 1 hour phone interview, which is a little concerning but so far I still have the 5 interviews scheduled 2 weeks from now.

Thank you so much, such a helpful video!

What happens when two interviewers interviewed someone. One of the interviewers was impressed while the other one didn't show satisfaction. How will the decision be made whether to hire the person or not?

What happens if one is interviewed by two interviewers in the LOOP interview. One of the interviewers was impressed and recommended the candidate for a hire while the other interviewer wasn't impressed? What happens?

I had my 6th interview yesterday for a position in Cape Town. I’m Super nervous 😬.

Can u do on Continuous Improvement Engineer

Hi. I've been watching your video for interview preparation and recently finished the loop at Amazon. The recruiter got back to me saying the entire team was inclined and I'm in the offer ready stage. However, the position I applied for was filled by an internal candidate before my debrief. The recruiter said he doesn't have any role open on his hand to fill me in but he'll reach out to other hiring managers, and encouraged me to find similar roles I would be intersted in. I wonder if you are familiar with this situation, and if there's anything else I need to do other than contacting my recruiter for other similar positions. Thanks again for the great content!

Hi GG. Nate here from South Africa, I'm interviewing for a Producer's position at the Brand New AWS Campus in Cape Town. Your videos are absolutely fantastic, and ads most of the details most others miss. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

How to prepare Amazon sde roll

I am currently preparing for the Engineering Operations Technician role and i'm really getting worked up on how to answer the LP questions. Does my answers have to be tailored around the work I did? Forinstance, "Give me an example of a calculated risk that you have taken where speed was critical". Do I have to answer it around when I worked on a pump, a PDU, a Chiller etc or I can tailor my answer based on general life's interaction?

Hello GG, I’ve watched almost entire playlist of your interview prep videos, sat on multiple weekly live streams & learned a lot. Last week, I completed my loop and today I received an email from the recruiting team (stating only the important part), “all members from loop had wonderful conversations with you, the team is wrapping up final conversations & hope to have an update on next steps no later than X date” later this afternoon also the recruiter called me and conveyed similar information. Is this normal for L6 roles? Should I stay hopeful for a positive outcome? Please guide me with your vast and amazing knowledge.

Hi GG, thanks for this informative video. I had a question, my application status in the job portal is showing "No longer under consideration" and I haven't yet heard from the recruiter regarding my interview result. What does it mean? Also, I received an amazon survey email for recruiting process, does it come after the decision is made or can be sent even before that? P.S. I tried reaching out recruiter, but didn't receive any response yet.

I imagine the LP's favourite from Bar raisers is the Customer obsession?

Great explanation! Direct to the point.

Is there a ballpark of how long it takes from application submission to the recruiter reviewing it?

Thank you 🙏 so much for the amazing content and tips on interviewing approaches.

Thanks for sharing this video. What I dint get is what is current cycle- is it all previous rounds of the same role? And also, can we repeat our examples from telephonic rounds?
