Everything you need to prepare for your in-person Amazon interview
We understand that in-person interviews might feel different after years of virtual connections. We’ve designed a comprehensive interview experience that helps you perform at your best while getting a genuine sense of what it’s like to work at Amazon.
Here’s what you can expect from your in-person Amazon interview.
In-person Amazon interview checklist
Before heading to your interview, make sure you have your government-issued ID for building access. You should also bring your resume (though your interviewers will have copies), a notepad and pen for taking notes, and any specifically requested portfolio samples.
When it comes to attire, we keep things simple: Wear what makes you comfortable and confident. At Amazon, we focus on your ideas and experiences, not your outfit choice.
It’s also important to remember that interviews are a two-way conversation— it’s just as much about you getting to know us as it is about us getting to know you. Prepare thoughtful questions that matter to you, such as “How does your team measure success?” or “What challenges is the team currently facing?”
What to expect for your in-person Amazon interview
Your day at Amazon is designed to be all-encompassing and welcoming.
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a member of our recruiting team, the hiring manager, or someone from our Candidate Concierge team. The Candidate Concierge team manages all aspects of your on-site experience—from coordinating interview room transitions to handling technical setups—to ensure your comfort and allow you to focus entirely on your conversations with the interview team.
Amazon welcomes individuals with disabilities to participate fully and equally in the interview process. If you have a disability or medical condition and need an accommodation, such as an ASL interpreter or a different interview format, or if you have physical accessibility needs, please communicate with your recruiter directly.
In-person Amazon interview structure
We aim to make your interview day special and memorable, though the core structure remains consistent. We account for transitions, breaks, and lunch in the middle of the day so that you’re able to recharge.
You can expect a full day of four to six interviews with different team members, including the Bar Raiser, each lasting between 45 and 60 minutes.
