Very collegial, laid back, conversational. Started with phone interview, then recorded video, and finally 1:1 interview on site. Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes; final session was with 5 interviewers on an actual Amazon distribution site (tour followed by 4 interviews)

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Washington, DC) in Apr 2018
Interview
The company uses the STAR behavioral interview process and incorporates several basic math problems into the 1 hr long interview. After opening comments and an explanation of the interview, the company will ask you the questions and seeks a STAR response. After about 30 minutes, they transition to the math problems that deal with resource management and flow. They close with about 15min where you can ask them questions and inform you that they will get back to you within 24-48hrs.
