I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Las Vegas, NV) in Oct 2017
Interview
You apply online, take a personality asessment and if you do well on that you get an email later on inviting you to their hiring event where you pick your preferred shift and take your drug test with 30 other people. There were no interviews.
After a week, if you passed your drug test they will send you an email offering you the job. In my experience, they will email you weekly at first, letting youu know they haven't forgotten about you and that they are just waiting to schedule your start date. I got my offer in late October and expected to start in November where I thought they'd need workers most(since holiday shopping and everything) but no, November passed and I started to get emails every other week reminding me the same thing that I still got the job.
It's now January and I did stop getting the emails, I went on my job profile and noticed that my status said "withdrew", I contacted them about it and they had told me that I'm no longer being considered and that they had already gotten all the candidates they needed and suggested to re-apply next time they are hiring again. Which is REALLY annoying but honestly what do you expect from places that do mass hiring.
No interview at all, you go into the hiring center, take your drug test, fill out some preliminary paperwork, verify the building and schedule you want, your start date and that's it.
Not too bad pretty easy and straightforward, simple question surrounding handling and moving. Make sure you know basic safety rules as they will ask you, for example how do you carry heavy items.
Apply online, go to the on-site office for oral drug swab and ID picture. Start date is assigned once background check comes back. The actual start date will depend on how fast the check comes back but isn't normally delayed.
