I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Windsor, CT) in Oct 2019
Interview
Started out with filling out an application online and taking an online assessment test. Pretty basic, focused mainly on interpreting "data" from a dashboard that's supposed to be a more simplified version of what you'd see on the job. A few math questions, but it was very simple and nothing too complex. I believe there was a personality / situation based "test" as well. I was contacted 2-3 weeks later to set up an in-person interview. I did not have a phone screen. Got the location of the facility, time of the interview, and travel details. Drove down, had a 30 minute tour of the fulfillment center, and then had two, back-to-back, one-on-one interviews with people who had been with Amazon for a few years. Pretty typical, behavioral questions. Just make sure to utilize the STAR method and have stories prepared that relate and demonstrate the 14 leadership principles. Heard back 6 days after with a congratulations letter, and got my location and compensation details a few hours after that.

Question 1
Pretty standard stuff. Tell me about a time when..... type questions. Amazon loves when you use numbers / metrics to help support your answers.
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.

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.
