Submitted resume and was contacted via email by a recruiter/hiring manager. Answered a couple of preliminary questions - most people you have ever led/managed, willingness to relocate, etc. Reviewed the links provided that gave background on their fulfillment centers operations. Set up follow-on phone interview which consisted of multiple behavioral-based questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions weren't difficult, but you need to be very specific in your responses. Interviewer wasn't particularly interested in leadership philosophy as much as how exactly it was applied.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Interesting Company and booming in the distribution network. Unconventional but efficient interview process in which they bombard candidates in a four hour interview -session- on- steroids. You were told that if you were offerred a job, which everyone was, that you would be sent to a random city and that they could not tell you your shift or days of work. You'd either work Sun-Wed or Wed-Sat. Hours were either 7AM-7PM or 7PM-AM. You were also told that your hours could be switched at their discretion. To advance, you'd have to be willing to relocate within the 1st 12 months or so. Most of the interviewers were current managers in the distribution network, all relatively new to the company, all good people. They highlighted the fact that the money was great and the work-life balance was terrible. They highlighted the money over and over.
