I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2015
Interview
Their recruiting employees first contacted me via LinkedIn. They sent me some web links to their website and to some YouTube videos so I could learn more about the company and it's values. The Recruiting Coordinator scheduled a phone interview with one of the Operations Managers. The phone interview started on time and lasted about 25 minutes.
The interview was broken down into 4 basic parts:
1) A quick introduction of the Interviewer
2) Behavioral questions. 2 questions I was asked were pretty open ended; the other 3 required examples (recommend to answer in STAR format).
3) Math question: 1 word problem with 2 parts (I'm assuming you need the 1st answer correct in order to get to the 2nd part)
4) Questions for the Interviewer: I asked 3.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Can you give an example of how you overcame an obstacle in your production?
You have 30 associates (2 are indirect/not on the floor). Each associate works 8 hours/day, 5 days/week, can produce 150 units/week, and has two 15 minute breaks/day.
Question 1: How many total units do you produce in a 40 hour work week?
Question 2: If you were to increase your productivity 10,000 units/week, how many extra associates do you need?
Difficult but rewarding interview process. The interview process took a few weeks. It starts with an online application and assessment, then ends with an in-person interview session, which lasted about 4 hours.
Initial would be a normal test online after you have applied. Final round is 3×45 minutes virtual video panel interview. Learn amazons leadership principle and have varietys of example from your previous job or academics.
