I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Leandro, CA) in Aug 2018
Interview
You apply online , then are emailed an appointment time to come in for an initial interview. You will be interviewing along with other candidates at the initial interview — I thought this would be daunting, but it is organized and not very competitive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I had to answer online questions. One question was a logistics puzzle that I had to solve concerning hypothetical boxes that had certain restrictions on their placement within a tier of shelves. For example, “Box A could not be next to Boxes C, F or H. Boxes over a certain weight had to be placed on the bottom shelf. Boxes D and G must always be next to one another, etc.”
Not too bad pretty easy and straightforward, simple question surrounding handling and moving. Make sure you know basic safety rules as they will ask you, for example how do you carry heavy items.
Apply online, go to the on-site office for oral drug swab and ID picture. Start date is assigned once background check comes back. The actual start date will depend on how fast the check comes back but isn't normally delayed.
Very simple and straight forward. Drug Test and Valid ID. Very few forms to to complete and a very short waiting time. The staff was very professional and efficient. Helped you with any questions or parts that you were unsure about.
