I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Phoenix, AZ) in Jul 2017
Interview
Recruiter called me 7/21 to inform of a position recently opened, had phone screen 7/25, onsite interview 7/28 and offered the position on 8/3. Plan for a very long day. Arrived at the FC one hour early as asked by the recruiter coordinator, did a tour of the facility. Make sure to bring notes, your own calculator, cell phone to keep track of time while waiting between interviews and own pens and pencils. Tour of the FC is boring and the person walks extremely fast so wear comfortable shoes. Once the tour is over you all sit in a room where they provide you with the math flow, very similar to the one in the practice packet. Hint; work backwards to solve. Next you meet with 2 Sr. Ops, HR and Ops who will be your peer. Sr. Ops asked me 5 questions while everyone else asked only 2. This is where it gets tricky, you need to make sure you impress the most Sr person the most as they are the bar raiser and ultimately make the final decision. When going over the math flow make sure they explain exactly what they are looking for as I am not sure they even know the answer, have them walk you through it as it can be confusing the way they explain it. Got a phone call from the recruiter 4 business days after the onsite interview offering me the position. This was my 2nd time interviewing as I was inclined the first time, but was unable to relocate and you are only inclined for hire for 6 months. I tried to tell the 2 others who were interviewing with me what to expect, but who knows if they believed me or took my advice. They are looking for a certain type of answer to their questions, either you have it or you don't!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Tracy, CA) in Jul 2017
Interview
Phone interview in December 2016. A second phone interview in Feb 2017. Finally on site interview in July 2017. Not organized at all. Was told to show up an hour earlier than scheduled but interviewers we not aware. Sr Ops Manager was not engaging at all. Wore safety vest the entire time even though sat in office for interview. There were 5 of us going into interview and the individual who was offered the position brought cell phone to interview and did not pay any attention to brief tour of fulfillment center. I may sound bitter because was not offer position but at least I pay attention to detail. Was told didn't have the right education and experience yet I hold an MBA and have over 20 years experience. Perhaps I was viewed as not trainable to be brain washed into the Amazon way however was able to quote all leadership principles and had examples. No worries will be back again as learned the dos and don'ts. Won't give up
