I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cleveland, OH) in Oct 2015
Interview
A recruiter contacted me via email a couple of times asking to set up a phone interview. The phone interview was about 30 minutes and they asked basic questions to learn more about myself and tell me about the job. Afterwards, I was asked to take an assessment within 72 hours. This included a lot of situation based questions and lasted about an hour. They contacted me via email a few days later asking me for an on-site interview in Detroit, Michigan. I had to decline because it was too short of notice and I am in college (they emailed me on a Tuesday and wanted me there by Friday morning but I had a midterm that day). I asked them if I could reschedule and they sent me an interview confirmation for that next Thursday in Cleveland, Ohio. The on-site interview was in a conference building and lasted about 2 hours. There was a 2-on-1 interview, a case study, and a math flow problem. They give you a sample math flow problem to practice before the interview but don't give you the case study in advance. I, personally, thought it was a very smooth process and the interview wasn't too bad at all. I didn't get the math flow problem right the first time but I still got an offer. I heard back 6 days after the interview (including a weekend) and they say you typically hear back whether you get an offer or not in 5-7 business days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic behavioral based questions. I can't disclose exactly what was asked due to a confidentiality agreement.
Multiple online tests after application, followed by a virtual interview with various staff. Staff did not want to be on camera and did not have many good things to say about working there.
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
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.
