I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2021
Interview
Applied as an external hire and worked with a recruiter. Two months after an online assessment, I was contacted for an interview. Their veterans program was helpful in explaining the interview format and what interviewers expected.
Interview was two back to back virtual interviews that lasted about 30 minutes to an hour each. Both asked two or three scenario based questions about applying Amazon's leadership principles; answers are to be given in their STAR format (situation, task, action, result). The first was with a new HR rep who asked questions and recorded the answers without giving much feedback. The second was with an Operations Manager who asked follow up questions and offered helpful feedback - they were great at helping me refine my answers and steer me towards the "right" answer. End of the interview allowed me to ask some basic questions about the role and expectations.
Three days after the interview I was offered the job. Total process was lengthy but overall a good experience that will depend largely on your recruiter and who you draw for the interview.
