I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2016
Interview
-Before anything I applied online then I passed my assessment test.
-Received an Email from HR about setting up an interview at another state ( which is awesome!! Since they reimburse you for your travel expenses and put you in a different city)
- The interviewing process was incredibly intimidating, they put you in a room with 10 other individuals who are going for the same position as you are. (Yikes!)
- I was interviewed by 2 current Area Managers, they seemed really laid back.
- 1st was basically you going in depth about your Resume and 2nd was a Case Study.
After a few days I received an email saying I was picked for the position.

Applied online, did a virtual job assessment, and online screening. After about a week I got an email for an in person interview. Had two 30-40 minute interviews. One of the interviewers did not show up so I had to do that one on the phone. They said they get back to you within 5 business days of the interview with an offer or rejection.
