Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral Questions: Amazon places a strong emphasis on its Leadership Principles. I prepared to answer behavioral questions using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). For example, I described a time when I had to make a tough decision with limited information.
Technical Questions: These assessed my finance knowledge and problem-solving abilities. I answered questions about financial analysis, forecasting, budgeting, and possibly some case studies or business scenarios.
Role-Specific Questions: Depending on the team, I got questions specific to the business unit I was interviewing for. For example, if it was for AWS, I answered questions related to cloud computing economics.
