I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Oakland, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Two week, quick, warm, friendly, welcoming process. They appeared to respond well to physical and mental strength, charisma, humble confidence, ambition, and thoughtfulness. The interviewers were all Amazon workers who are currently or were Area Managers. They were receptive and truly listened to my responses. I found it easy to relate to them and ended the interview feeling confident.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They want to know who you are when you fail, and how you recover. They want to know how you handle disagreements, and move forward. They want to know how you embrace challenge. They want to know how you speak about your successes. They want to know why Amazon, specifically, and what it means to you.
All virtual. STAR interview questions (situation task action result). Think of examples of tough situations you had to deal with. I think I had 2 or 3 interviews before I got an offer. Pretty smooth process overall.
or an Amazon Level 4 (L4) Area Manager phone interview, you will face 2 to 3 main behavioral questions, alongside a highly possible operational math screening question. Because L4 is typically an entry-level management role (often targeted at recent college graduates or individuals with early-stage leadership experience), the focus shifts heavily toward potential, basic problem-solving, and your ability to lead groups of people
STAR method is a must. very results focused so add what you contributed. had 3 back to back interviews that were quick and they spent most of the time reading and taking notes
