I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Indianapolis, IN)
Interview
Reached out quickly and set up all travel accommodations. Had to do an online meeting first where the recruiter ran through what to expect. Initially felt like I was genuinely wanted. But I was told 3-5 days for an answer, and hadn't heard anything by 3pm on day 5. Reached out to the recruiter and he had me the rejection in about 30 minutes. Asked for feedback, and he never responded at that point. A simple, "I don't have anything to give you", would have been nice, especially since he was a fellow Veteran. Just really unprofessional in most every aspect by the recruiter. But they're the coolest, or at least what they will tell you.

Question 1
How I would handle an employee questioning punishment that I gave her when she found out the punishment was different for the employee who was with her, but works under a different manager.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Washington, DC) in Sep 2017
Interview
After online assessments evaluating personality style and ability to make management decisions for employees in a warehouse shift, they called me in for an interview.
Shortly before the scheduled date, they sent a packet explaining the interview process and advising on the best ways to do well on the interviews. They explained the STAR approach to responding to interview questions and provided Amazon's Leadership Principles so we can be sure to mention them in our interview responses.
At the interview everyone was really nice and friendly. They started with a briefing explaining how it will work, then there were two consecutive interviews with two different people, each 45 minutes long. They wrapped up with a debriefing and the whole thing was over in about 2.5 hours.

Very easy and smooth. The interview had basic behavioural questions and questions to know who you are and personality. However, did not get an offer because I do not have American Citizenship
