I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Cold, calculated, no repoire, just ABC's, do not deviate from the question and have your canned responses in a specific form or you are just wasting their time and they will tell you that you are. Very inexperienced young managers who are just going through the motions. Many of them are first time managers, and it shows, they are straight out of college and have no people skills.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2015
Interview
I was contacted by a Operations & Military Recruiter @Amazon. After I confirmed that I was interested I provided him my resume. About 1-2 weeks later, I received a Phone Interview Confirmation email from a Recruiting Coordinator - Amazon Worldwide Operations Talent Acquisition. I was given a 30-minute time window and was to be interviewed by an actual Operations Manager a Fulfillment Center. I dialed into the Conference Room & entered a Security Code that verified I was in the correct area. I dialed in 5 minutes early and was the only one there. I waited for 48 minutes, and individual that was to interview me never dialed in. But at the 55 minute mark, someone did join the room. Another candidate. I exited the call and dialed the Recruiting Coordinator, but no answer. So I emailed her. I have yet to hear anything back.

Question 1
N/A-never occurred...So I put "Interview Difficulty as Very Difficult" due to frustration that my interviewer never showed.
