Then I did a virtual interview online. I logged into a website and presented behavior based interview questions. My answers were recorded on video. This lasted about an hour. I was then flown to Amazon San Bernardino, CA. Given a tour of facility with other applicants and then had 3 separate one on one interviews with area managers. 4-5 behavior based questions each.
