I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2013
Interview
Application was accepted, and a few months later, was called in for what I thought was an interview. It was actually a quick tour and then an offer if you pass drug screen/background check. Very impersonal. You were clearly just a number.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Coppell, TX)
Interview
Received an email instructing me to schedule an interview. I actually missed the first email but received a second one. During the interview the lady mostly told me about Amazon and said the positions they were hiring for were seasonal but they may ask some to stay on permament. They were starting at $10.75 regardlss of your experience.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Moreno Valley, CA) in Aug 2014
Interview
I actually applied through snagajob one day and I got an email back within the next week from Amazon saying to schedule my interview for one of the following days, all of the days on the list were 3 weeks away, so I picked the closes date. Got an email shortly after confirming that my date for my interview was set at the Hyatt Hotel in Downtown Riverside. 3 weeks later I am at the hotel, I walk in and they ask me to check in at these tables they have stationed when you first walk in. Wait was about 4 minutes and the guy I had asked me for my name, a valid I.D and proof of education, handed all of them to him and next thing I know he is handing me a congratulations letter and giving me my work schedule. He then told me to take a sit and they will call me shorty. About 5 minutes later a lady calls 2 of us to a small room and there they were taking badge pictures. We took a seat after and about 5 minutes later a group of us got called into a conference room and we met a director of Amazon and told us a little about the company, our benefits, and took our drug screen test. It was all about half an hour. Background check and drug screening test took about a week to get back an email.
