      Operations Manager Interview

      5 June 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Chicago, IL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chicago, IL) in May 2016

      Interview

      I networked with some Amazon managers through LinkedIn which was very helpful. They provided an employee referral and I was contacted by a recruiter via e-mail about 2-3 weeks later. After some e-mail "interviews" asking various questions on administrivia, I was scheduled for two formal phone interviews. The recruiter was punctual and professional. A math question was given and some behavioral questions. Use STAR technique as they are looking for specific examples of what you did. Less than a week later, I was notified they wanted to continue with my candidacy and I was scheduled for an on-site interview at the location I was interested in working. Travel arrangements were made (although they waited until the last minute) and flight, mileage, hotel and car rental were all taken care of. On-site was 4.5 hours...FC tour, math question (got 15 min to complete and I only got maybe half of it right), then (4) 45 minute interviews with Sr Ops Mgrs and HR Mgr. They reviewed math problem and changed the variables and had you explain. Also, reviewed writing sample which had to be sent off two days prior on one of two questions. Rest of interview was all behavioral questions. They are BIG on their 14 Leadership Principles which are not just bumper stickers. They are integrated into everything! After all phone and on-site interviews, they left time for my questions...use this time wisely and ask good questions. I was notified less than a week later of their formal offer. Very smooth process but intense interview process.

      Operations Manager Interview

      4 June 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Assessment, written assessment, four interviews. It was a simple but lengthy process. You will interview with four different individuals, not a panel. So be prepared for a few hours spending 30-40 minutes each. Even if you nail one two or three, if one interview doesn’t go as smooth it can cause you to not get an offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Three part questions, and what did you learn? Even if your example was spot on with the situation task action and result they still want you to provide an explanation of what you would do differently. Be prepared for this question after examples for every interviewer. They want details and exact data and numbers.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      The interview process was professional, well-organized, and focused heavily on Amazon’s Leadership Principles. I completed multiple rounds of interviews that included behavioral questions requiring detailed examples using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) format. Interviewers were engaged, asked thoughtful follow-up questions, and seemed genuinely interested in understanding my leadership experience and decision-making process. The most challenging aspect of the process was the depth of behavioral questioning. Candidates should be prepared with specific examples related to leadership, conflict resolution, process improvement, customer focus, and delivering results. Communication throughout the process was timely, and expectations were clearly outlined. While the interview experience was demanding, it provided a fair opportunity to demonstrate skills and experience. Overall, I found the process to be thorough, professional, and reflective of the company’s high standards for leadership roles.
