I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Middletown, DE) in Jun 2014
Interview
Filled out forms online. Communicated by email. Came in for brain washing videos then some more videos. Listened to some bogus speeches from employees ranging from scared to very obnoxious. Each step of the process was very painfully delayed. Total process took about two months and three trips. HR people to their credit tried to explain the environment as best they could but having no real experience their talking fell flat and had no credibility.
Hiring is through a temporary employment agency. Periodic "conversions" offer employment to those who are considered solid workers. The company seems to not enjoy as good a reputation as they might like. It seems many aspirants to employment decide to move on rather than deal with the issues/problems inherent with Amazon.
I applied online through snagajob and got an email the next day to go to a hire event and pick the day I wanted to go so I went the following monday, it was wednesday and I couldve picked as soon as friday, and when I got to the event I had the job I just had to take a mouth swab drug test and take my proof of education. I applied for a seasonal part time position so I believe that is why it was so easy. Just waiting on my background to clear

Question 1
There was no question. Just had to complete a questionnaire when I applied which replaced a real interview. Either strongly agree or strongly disagree on questionnaire.
