I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Indianapolis, IN) in Sep 2012
Interview
I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter through LinkedIn and had a 30-minute prhone screening that basically covered my resume and tips for a follow-up interview with a director of regional operations. The second interview consisted of behavioral type questions and the interview was more direct/difficult than the initial phone screen. Following the interview I was contacted by someone from HR about scheduling an on-site interview at their Indianapolis,IN fulfillment center. Their HR department arranged all travel details (flight, hotel, rental car) without any issues.
During the morning of the interview our group of candidates received about a 45 minute tour of the fulfillment center. Following the tour we were brought to a meeting room/holding area where we were given a math flow problem to complete (the problem can be found on this website). Upon completion of the math flow problem the candidates began a series of interviews. I interviewed with four representatives (2 x Sr Ops Managers, GM, HR). Each interview lasted between 45-50 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you attempted to refine a process and failed.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Conflict between coworkers, how would you approach resolving?
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.
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
