This was a typical Amazon interview. It consisted of four virtual interviews with four different Amazon representatives. The interviews were all about the Leadership Principles, with only one technical question. The rest of the questions were all related to the Leadership Principles.

1. Tell me about a time when you strongly disagreed with your manager or peer on something you consider very important to the business. What was it and how did you handle it? Knowing what you know now, would you do anything different?

2. Give me an example of a time when you were not able to meet a commitment. What was the commitment and what were the obstacles that prevented success? What was the impact to your customers/peers and what did you learn from it?

3. Give an example of when you saw a peer struggling and decided to step in and help. What was the situation? What actions did you take? What was the outcome?

4. Describe a challenging problem or situation in which the usual approach was not going to work. Why were you unable to take the usual approach? What alternative approach did you take? Was it successful?

5. Give me an example of a calculated risk that you have taken where speed was critical. What was the situation and how did you handle it? What steps did you take to mitigate the risk? What was the outcome?
