The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2011
Interview
The interview process was a great experience. The recruiter told me to research a math flow problem and be prepared. I did my research. However, all the math flow problems I prepared for was not the one I was asked. Come to find out from other candidates, their recruiter actually gave them the math flow problem a day prior. So they were prepared and probably received an offer. Oh well I can chaulk it up to an experience. I don't understand why amazon gives a math flow problem to see people's problem solving skills but gives the questions to certain candidates in advance. After the math flow problem, I met one on one with an operations manager, then an area manager and my final interview was with a general manager. I'm wonderiing if the recruiters are in competition to receive a commision on successful hires. To me that's not really showing ones abilities to think on the spot Overall, I was not impressed with the area recruiter that contacted me for the phone interview. However, the HR reepresenatives from corporate were great. I was disappointed that I was not offered a position. I know I would have been a great addition to their team. However, their management team thought otherwise. Time to hit the unemployment line or I will be another homeless vet!
