I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Brooklyn, NY) in Nov 2016
Interview
I applied online and a short time later was told that I had the job, pending my passing of a drug and background check. I went to the warehouse and sat with a group of about 15 other people. A woman gave us a brief description of the job (it was part time, in the warehouse), and our benefits. We signed some papers, swabbed our cheek for the drug test and were told we'd be hearing from them within two weeks. Less than a week later I received an email telling me I passed the tests and to be on the lookout for an email with instructions for my orientation. For the next two months I received emails every couple of days telling me not to worry, I haven't been forgotten - just sit tight. Then I received another email asking me to come in for another drug test. I asked if that meant they had a start date for me and they said, "no, not yet." I then received a phone call asking me to come for the drug screening and she explained that although they still didn't have a start date for me, the results of my drug test were 60 days old so I needed to do another one. I told her that if she had a start date for me I would come in right then for another test but I was not going to go there every two months just so they could see if I was on drugs. She rudely hung up on me. It was ridiculous.

Question 1
Nothing - I had to sign a paper giving them permission to do a background check and then I did a cheek swab drug test.
The interview process was super easy and fast. It the best sense some companies do not even hire you after interviews. Amazon is the best since you do not need interview process just hiring event!
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Gardena, CA) in Jun 2021
Interview
The interview was basically just passing a mini course of learning what you'll be doing on the job and how to accomplish such tasks and a drug test. So not the traditional interviewing process.

How well can you work in a fast paste work environment?
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Dallas, TX) in Apr 2021
Interview
The process was quick and easy...you first walk into the building and you stand on a yellow sticker for social distancing and wait in line to give the person your ID and social security to make sure you have an scheduled appointment. After that you go in the other area and stand on another sticker and wait to be told the job and schedule that you picked and get your picture taken for your ID that you’ll receive on the first day of work at the facility you applied to.
