I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Mississauga, ON) in Nov 2015
Interview
Long and tedious. You had to complete a question form online first, then do an interview and finally if you were hired, you would come to a very boring orientation. It was a 2-3 hour powerpoint presentation on what Amazon is about, their core values and safety guidelines. And I understand they have to do this for liability's sake, but shorten it a bit or edit it in a 20 minute video.

Question 1
Any previous experience or if you have a forklift license.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Hebron, KY) in Nov 2012
Interview
Simple and to the point. Few personal questions. Only asked if we could handle walking, and lifting for up to 11 hours a day. Hired on the spot. You may be asked to submit a drug test (mouth swab). Very good chance of having a job the same day.

Interview
The interview is basically just the online assessment. After passing the assessment, I was able to set up an appointment. I thought this would be the interview so I dressed up real nice and when I got there I was asked what shift I wanted to pick. At first I wanted to pick the 3 twelve hour shifts but I was told I would have to re-do my questionnaire on my application. So I picked the 4 ten hour shifts and was told to go to another room where they took my picture and then we all went into another room where we all put drug test swabs in our mouths for 10 minutes while they told us about the job and benefits. After that we were told to wait for an email once our drug an background checks were done. A few days later I get a bunch of emails. One of which said that my shift had changed and that I would be working on the one day I had asked for off. Which is where I figured out why I couldn't pick the 3-12 hour shifts because I had asked for Thursday off, and in the end I now work Thursday. I even tried emailing support and was told not to go to my orientation if I was unable to work my "assigned" shifts. They said that I would have to wait for another orientation and that there would be no guarantee that there would be another one. Needless to say.. I work Thursdays now.
