I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2012
Interview
I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter via email for an operations position in a new warehouse they are building. We went back and forth for a few days by email until an phone interview was set up. The interview lasted about 30 to 45 min and was basically the STAR format. I personally thought the interview went well due to my ability to answer the question because of my past jobs. Unfortunately the interviewer did not think so and 2 days later I got the email saying thanks but no thanks.
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
