I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2015
Interview
Applied through campus recruiter. First round interview was over the phone, and questions were all about leadership experience. Next round was an on-site interview. Here there were 4 30 minute interviews each with a different theme. One was a math flow question, another was about leadership values, why Amazon, and then a walkthrough of your resume. Apply all your answers to how it relates to Amazon, this is critical.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Amazon? A simple question but is by far the most important.
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
