I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego, CA)
Interview
I submitted my resume on an employment website my school has. I received an email about a week later inviting me to apply on Amazon.com, I didn't recieve a phone interview and about a week later I recieve an email inviting me to an interview. I set up the date and they paid for a hotel room.
Going into my interview I was under the assumption I would be interviewing at a Fulfillment center, but I was interviewed in a hotel and by two different area managers. The first interview went well it was a case study and then behavioral questions, it felt more like a conversation than an interview. My second interviewer was negative and kept talking about how this is the most stressful and difficult job ever he was short and he only asked behavioral questions. I asked questions after the interview it lasted about an hour and a half.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had conflict in a group.
Tell me about a time you failed.
Tell me about a time you persuaded a group to take your idea when they already had an idea made up.
Case study:
Two employees carpool together Jennifer and Tim, they each arrive 30 minutes late one day. When they recieve their checks Jennifer who is in your team notices she was not paid the same as Tim, as Tim was paid the 30 minutes he was late and Jennifer was not. Jennifer tells you that Tim was paid the 30 minutes. What is your course of action? Do you talk to Bruce(Tim's manager)? What would you say to Bruce?
Let's say Bruce gives you a sad story about how Tim is having a hard with his personal life and that's all he tells you. What would you say to Bruce? What would you say to Jennifer?
If Jennifer is still not happy would you talk to your manager or HR.
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.

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
