I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Phoenix, AZ) in Oct 2010
Interview
I contacted a military recruiter at Amazon.com through LinkedIn.com. He was excited about my background, and gave me the impression that I was a sure hire. I had a phone interview within 2 days of speaking with the Amazon recruiter, and progressed to the onsite panel interview. At the onsite interview, I was greated by a lady who gave me two problem scenarios to work through stating I had 20 minutes to complete them. After 50 minutes, I was taken on a walk-around tour of the warehouse by another supervisor. Following the walk-around, I was interviewed by two different supervisors. I had to present my solutions to the problem scenarios and answer typical questions. One week later I was contacted by another individual stating that they decided "to move forward with other qualified candidates such as myself".
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Stamford, CT)
Interview
Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Talked to 3 different people, all of whom were wearing old sweatshirts and not looking at the camera. As I was sitting on zoom in a suit jacket, did not feel at all a place I would be valued at.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Conflict between coworkers, how would you approach resolving?
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.
