I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2012
Interview
I flew up to Indianapolis to interview for a position with Amazon. This was after 3-4 phone interviews. The day consisted of 4 separate interview with members of management from different locations. I have no issue with that, but the individual that I interviewed with, I wish it would have been different. One of the interviewers treated me as if they were a detective, and asked counter questions in regards to my experience, as if they were trying to find holes in my knowledge. Another, was actually "dozing off" during the interview process. I guess they needed a nap.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question in regards to 3 areas that I felt I were a weakness
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
