I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2015
Interview
Their recruiting employees first contacted me via LinkedIn. They sent me some web links to their website and to some YouTube videos so I could learn more about the company and it's values. The Recruiting Coordinator scheduled a phone interview with one of the Operations Managers. The phone interview started on time and lasted about 25 minutes.
The interview was broken down into 4 basic parts:
1) A quick introduction of the Interviewer
2) Behavioral questions. 2 questions I was asked were pretty open ended; the other 3 required examples (recommend to answer in STAR format).
3) Math question: 1 word problem with 2 parts (I'm assuming you need the 1st answer correct in order to get to the 2nd part)
4) Questions for the Interviewer: I asked 3.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Can you give an example of how you overcame an obstacle in your production?
You have 30 associates (2 are indirect/not on the floor). Each associate works 8 hours/day, 5 days/week, can produce 150 units/week, and has two 15 minute breaks/day.
Question 1: How many total units do you produce in a 40 hour work week?
Question 2: If you were to increase your productivity 10,000 units/week, how many extra associates do you need?
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.
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.
