I applied through university. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2012
Interview
Had 2 45 min interviews. The first one I was presented with a math flow problem. It can be found online, the switch the numbers and situation around so be sure you can be flexible and expand. The second was basic behavior questions. Make sure you have leadership examples and they really look for those with a bias for action.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The safety team asks you to rotate people, but one person is killing it? What do you do?
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
