Top 7 Amazon Interview Questions + Explanations (with Ex- Amazon + Google + Facebook + Microsoft)

In this video, I walk you through the employer expectations, what to avoid, and what a good interview answer sounds like for Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple (just about any companies!). The interview questions are very similar, if not almost identical to other FAANG companies. I learned of this, as feedback shared from my clients in my VIP Coaching who is now working for those FAANG Companies.

VIP Coaching + Weekly Mock Interview

Just wanted to say thank you! I watched A LOT of your videos and was offered an L-6 position at a brand new sort facility. I applied several times and finally got an interview. I watched a lot of your content before I went to panel. I prepared over 30 pages of STAR stories. The panel was challenging and I loved it. I’m so happy!

[mariaclara-jvey]

I got a job offer in Amazon!!! thank you so much Holly Lee! your channel and videos help me a lot!

[s.r.h.]

I am an entry level employee at Amazon fulfillment and been here a year. Packing and all the other entry level jobs in that area. Very generic, easy, and boring work but I see the importance of it all. Applied for Process Assistant position and did the interview. Three questions based on customer obsession, a past goal and how achieved, and name a failure and consequences. Used Star method had past situations ready and felt like I did pretty good. Even interviewers said they got what they needed and it was great, BUT he wanted answers all based on experience while at Amazon. This floored me. Because the work is so easy, generic and mindless all my answers would be empty. As a good worker doing what comes natural puts you so far ahead of the rest doing this job. A goal would be wanting to get the new position. Customer obsession would be I pack fast to get orders out the door. A failure? How would I have answered these and they get anything meaningful based on 1 year of work at the warehouse?

[kunikasingh]

Thank you holly, taken notes from your video and I've been selected for L5 in amazon. Thanks a ton once again.

[rubiismail]

Hi Holly, I wished I had come across your site earlier. I have an interview with AWS tomorrow and I've learnt so much just from watching your content the past 2 days. Thanks so much Holly. I'm just so in love with your energy, generosity and authenticity.

[mobush]

Hi Holly! Thank you for your awesome videos. I studied and took notes for my interview by watching your videos. I really liked the STAR method. This was something I have never done before and it worked to gain my focus to write the question down before answering the question. The three step interview went great. I just received my offer letter for my position as a Safety Specilaist! Thanks again!

[andresmaldonado]

I am watching your videos, this is the second one, I am about to binge watch all day during work. I work for Amazon but applied internally for an IT support associate position and prepping for the interview process. This is fantastic information and if I get the position I am going to send you a gift because this type of information is priceless and I appreciate you, your knowledge, experience, tips, and the time you are dedicating out of your day to help strangers. God bless you and have a great day Holly

[TarasovFrontDev]

Gosh, that's the kind of HR manager I can truly admire

[JoseGonzTravels]

I didn’t get hired on with Amazon but the interview experience was well worth it. I’m now with a smaller company working as a manger. I felt that Amazon prepared me to be a better interviewee in the long run.

[andreasteyn]

You give such amazing advice, and the way you present and talk is clear and easy to understand. I am sharing your resource with other students and candidates who are looking for work at Amazon and other companies. Your channel is a one stop for everything you need to know to be well informed, and in the know, and make sure to focus on the talents we already have but now will know how to talk about them better in an interview. Please know everything word you say has an impact and it is helping! thank you

[gameplayer]

Love the energy in this video. Straight shooter.

[mauislim]

I have an interview tomorrow for a zone lead and what I thought before with my approach was totally wrong. Thanks for the video. I know kinda see how to lead into the q&a of the interview. Keeping my fingers crossed tomorrow!!!

[LoveisJustice]

Great info. I worked for Apple for 4 years and I can relate to some of these questions. You give me some updated insight on how Wow them in the interview. Ty!

[andylen]

Great video. Short, sharp and get to the point. Most importantly have you reflected before and done the work to prepare. Well done Holly!

[mauriciobori]

Really good content thanks! You’re a great communicator Holly

[jamesdduong]

Thank you chi Holly. I have an interview next week and this is extremely helpful.

[abm]

TY for all your videos, they were a BIG help preparing me for my Loop!! 🤞💫

[Malinga]

Thank you so much for this Holly! I have an interview next week and I'm going to watch ALL of your videos. A recruiter reached out to me for a job I hadn't applied for. And I'm kind of worried if I will be able to answer the questions well enough, even though it's a role I haven't done before. Do you have any advice on how to prepare?

[ryangupta]

So thankful to you for the compete insight
