I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Phoenix, AZ) in Mar 2012
Interview
Applied online for an area manager position at a distribution center in Phoenix.. Received an e-mail from a member of the talent acquisition team (also known as HR) and talked for a while to him about my background and experience. I also received a questionairre that I was asked to fill out and return, and was told they would be in touch. Next step was a mono v. mono phone interview with a senior operations manager. Again, background and resume review, and then some basic questions about metrics, leadership, managerial skills, and the like. 2 days later, I received an e-mail asking where and when I'd like to go for an on-site interview. Unfortunately, the locations did not include Phoenix, which is where the position I applied for was located. I was told I would be interviewing for an operations manager position, which is the next level of management above the position I applied for. Unfortunately, I couldn't commit to moving across the country for a job with a company I had never worked for.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Conflict between coworkers, how would you approach resolving?
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
