Interview
I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter via email for an operations position in a new warehouse they are building. We went back and forth for a few days by email until an phone interview was set up. The interview lasted about 30 to 45 min and was basically the STAR format. I personally thought the interview went well due to my ability to answer the question because of my past jobs. Unfortunately the interviewer did not think so and 2 days later I got the email saying thanks but no thanks.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Las Vegas, NV) in Feb 2012
Interview
Great Phone interview. Got a call 2 weeks later to come in for an on site interview. Impressive tour of the facility and explanation of their processes. Everything seemed to be well organized. Had three one-on-one interviews with HR and ops managers. Thought I did well. I guess I asked too many questions about the Area Manager turnover that is listed here on Glassdoor. I think it scared them away.
