I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2014
Interview
first was a phone interview where they ask you basic interview questions at the end of the interview they will have you do a basic math problem, make sure you do well on the problem. If you do well on the phone interview they will bring you to a different location where you will again do a work flow math problem, then you will do around 5 interviews focusing on amazon leadership principles.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you deal with a employee who showed up late?
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
