I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Arlington, VA) in June 2019
Interview
An Amazon Recruiter asked me if I was interested in applying for the role. They flew me out, paid for hotel and rental car, and food. Got a tour of the amazon warehouse and there were two other candidates. Interview was with 3 different people: HR manager, Operations Manager and one more person. Recruiter told me to study Amazon's leadership principles and the STAR response format. I did all of that, memorized the principles. Questions were all situational and behavior based. It was back to back interview with all three people. I thought the interviews went really well and I was very disappointed that I didn't get an offer. Interestingly, I tried applying for an area manager role at a different location and contacted the recruiter who reached out to me. The recruiter told me that based on my previous interview to not even bother and if I want to apply again, to wait 12 months. So I guess it is a one time deal. Very disappointing since I incorporated the Amazon leadership principles into my answers and studied them well before the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time you tried enacting a change within an organization
Multiple online tests after application, followed by a virtual interview with various staff. Staff did not want to be on camera and did not have many good things to say about working there.
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Stamford, CT)
Interview
Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Talked to 3 different people, all of whom were wearing old sweatshirts and not looking at the camera. As I was sitting on zoom in a suit jacket, did not feel at all a place I would be valued at.
