      Area Manager Interview

      Jul 1, 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2011

      Interview

      Don't pay any attention to the negative reviews of Amazon's interview process. The phone interview went off without a hitch; basic leadership type behavioral questions. Within two days I was notified that they would fly me out to Allentown, PA for another round of face to face interviews. The math problem and case studies came in an email shortly after that. The point of contact for this process was locked on and professional. The flight and hotel and rental car were all taken care of. When you get to the interview location you will be put into a small group with a minder to escort you around and get you where you need to go. The interviews were three 1:1 interviews and then the math/case studies discussion with senior management types who came out specifically for this event. None of them were combative or grumpy. I estimate that about 200 candidates went through the process, spread out over three days. The Talent Acquisition personnel were very helpful and gave out lots of pointers on how to do well in the interviews. They were very clear that we were not competing against each other for one job. They have hundreds of openings and they are looking for solid leadership skills that make for a good fit within their corporate culture. Each interviewer had a competency to focus on. Figure out what that is (it will be obvious, in fact he or she will probably tell you what it is) and then bend all your answers to that topic. They tell you several times during the process to bring up numbers and quantified success.The math flow and case studies are more conversational in nature. And when they say 'show your work' they mean they want to see the actual full-out equation that gets the numbers you talk about. After you go through that the curveballs start and you just describe how you would adjust. It was the portion of the process that I feared the most and it turned out to be my favorite part. There was no problem with my return flight and the offer came in the next week. I accepted.

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Stamford, CT)

      Interview

      Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Talked to 3 different people, all of whom were wearing old sweatshirts and not looking at the camera. As I was sitting on zoom in a suit jacket, did not feel at all a place I would be valued at.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      All virtual. STAR interview questions (situation task action result). Think of examples of tough situations you had to deal with. I think I had 2 or 3 interviews before I got an offer. Pretty smooth process overall.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (London, England)

      Interview

      or an Amazon Level 4 (L4) Area Manager phone interview, you will face 2 to 3 main behavioral questions, alongside a highly possible operational math screening question. Because L4 is typically an entry-level management role (often targeted at recent college graduates or individuals with early-stage leadership experience), the focus shifts heavily toward potential, basic problem-solving, and your ability to lead groups of people
