The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2011
Interview
Spoke with Amazon recruiters at a school career fair. Went to a networking event held by Amazon. Signed up for an on-campus interview online. On the day of the interview I received an email from the recruiter at 3 AM asking us to come twenty minutes early and bring a calculator. Amazon did not seem like a company that was on top of things. In the analytical interview the interviewer admit one of the questions was wrong. After the analytical interview I was to conduct a behavioral interview. The interviewer never flew in so it was instead conducted over the phone with a different interviewer. Overall the people were very nice but they did not seem very prepared. Also study the questions that other people have posted about the interview process. They asked a lot of the same questions and same scenarios. The math problem about work flow is word for word what is posted on glassdoor.com.
Star Method and Leadership Principles. Just study these from the materials they give you, and form a story for each principle, and when they ask questions, you can see which principle they are asking about.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced a conflict or disagreement at work and how did you handle it?"
Multiple online tests after application, followed by a virtual interview with various staff. Staff did not want to be on camera and did not have many good things to say about working there.
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
