The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2010
Interview
I had 3 phone interviews and 1 onsite interview. The first phone interview was with a recruiting manage, whose responsibility was to introduce me to the position including locations, compensation and likely hours. This only lasted about 30 minutes and was a breeze to get through. All you need to do is demonstrate that you understand how important customer experience is to Amazon.com's business and that you have some sense of how their operations work. The second phone interview was also a snap, I spoke with an Operations Manager at the facility I would likely work at. The Operations Manager is the direct report for the Area Managers. In this interview, it was critical to be able to point to specific examples in my career where I demonstrated a commitment to customer service, employee safety, process improvement and leadership. The third interview is the same, only with the Site Manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You have 2 employees, Jim, who is new and doesn't seem to follow the SOP and constantly makes errors and Jane, who is a seasoned veteran, also does not follow the SOP, but rarely makes errors. How would you address with each employee the fact that he/she does not follow the SOP?
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.

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
