I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Breinigsville, PA) in Feb 2020
Interview
First submitted my application via Amazon job and about a week later saw an email about upcoming hiring events in my area. Went to the one in PA. They put me in a hotel and the following day had my interview. Was with 6 other candidates that were seeking employment after college. We had a brief introduction as to what the role entails and did a little ice breaker. An employee gave us a tour of the fulfiment center which was huge. Then, one by one we got pulled for two face-to-face interviews. The first lady was really friendly and professional and asked me a lot of behavioral based questions. Be prepared for follow-up questions! They really want to get to know you! The 2nd interview was similar to the first, but this time there was a case-study question and some follow-ups. They also leave time at the end to ask any questions you may have. Overall, was a really great experience and really valued my time there.
