Applied online. About 1 month latter received a phone call to set up a phone interview. Phone interview was behavioral based with one math problem. The math problem was about having 30 workers, 2 indirect managers they could make xx uph, worked 8hr shifts 5 days a week with 2 15 min breaks. How many units total for 1 week? I then received an email to come back for an on site interview. I am doing this next week so I will update my review then.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Fort Worth, TX) in Mar 2014
Interview
Intial interview by phone with recruiter. Important that your responses have $$$ or improvement stats attached to answers. The following week, I was invited for a 30 minute tour of facility. Following the tour, I was interviewed 1:1 with four managers (HR, Regional Ops. Mgr and 2 facilities managers). Most of the questions were behavior questions, and you are expected to provide specific examples from your prior or current roles. I had one manager ask me if I have ever worked for an A-Hole (too funny). We all have so I answered yes and then explained how I managed the relationship and improve the situation.

Question 1
I expected the question "name a time when you had to work with ambiguity, what did you do?". However, it was phrased "name a time when you had to make a decision with little or no information". I guess I got stumped after being there for five hours..my fault!!!!
