I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Phoenix, AZ) in July 2011
Interview
Prior to the first interview, I had to complete a questionaire. After two phone interviews, I was invited to attend the panel interview in person. This was an all day experience whereby Amazon did an outstanding job at outlining the potential opportunities and expectations.
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
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
