I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego, CA) in Sept 2016
Interview
It was very casual. I was emailed to set up an interview about 2 weeks before the interview date. I was flown out to San Diego and they put me up in a nice hotel. The interview itself was 2 x 1 on 1 interviews with basic STAR questions (name a time you improved a process, etc.) and questions where they wanted to know what you would do in a given situation. The whole interview took less than 2 hours.
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?
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
STAR method is a must. very results focused so add what you contributed. had 3 back to back interviews that were quick and they spent most of the time reading and taking notes
