I've gone through the full-job interview with Amazon recently (right as they were laying off thousands, so weird timing) so I can relate my experience.
They want you to have stories prepared for each of the principles. That's 16 anecdotes you have to prepare. They all have to follow a certain format as well: the STAR method. Situation/Task, Action, Result. You have to describe the situation and tell how it relates to the principle, what you specifically did and how it reflects the principle, and finally the results of your action.
Each anecdote needs to be about 5 to 10 minutes long. So you have to prepare roughly two hours of material total. I can see it taking two weeks.
