Question 1
Name a time where you had a conflict with someone.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Champaign, IL) in Aug 2019
Interview
I applied on Handshake (application and assessment) and then received an email 3 days later for an interview. I had 2 virtual interviews back to back on Amazon Chime a week later. Strictly behavioral with 1 case question that replicated a situation that you're likely to run into when working as an Area Manager. Got an offer 1 week later. Still waiting on my official offer letter, which they say should be sent out within the next few weeks. Hope this helps!

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you set out to achieve a goal. and during your pursuit toward this goal, realized that you could accomplish something even bigger than what you were going for.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New Westminster, BC) in May 2019
Interview
Amazon recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn saying that i would be a perfect fit for Area Manager's position, since it is basically the same what i was doing at my work at that time. We had a friendly and pleasant phone interview.
After i got to do some online assessment test.
And after that i got invited for an in-person interview. Which was the worst interview experience i ever had. It was long (3 hours) and exhausting, questions very difficult, at some point it makes you wonder are you interviewing for some Project Manager or higher position... I think the bar is set too high unnecessarily. Area Manager is the lowest management position in Amazon fulfillment centers, but it feels that they are looking for some geniuses. Anyways, i am a Caucasian woman and i was interviewed separately by 3 men, all of them being from the same background and ethnicity, which i think resulted in me not getting an offer quite much. There should be a diversity in my opinion. Otherwise i can't find another reason for not getting an offer: my experience, education and skills were exactly what was required, even more. I answered all the questions in STAR method, all my answers were based on real projects i have done in my previous work experience.
I left the interview drained, tired, with a headache and sour feeling...
