One interviewer asked me about my resume, well a specific bullet on my resume. Other than that there were no real hard questions.
Name a time that you failed
They were all pretty straight forward. No trick questions.
Why Amazon? A simple question but is by far the most important.
I was asked 2 behavioral questions and 1 easy math question. The behavioral questions focus on team situations and creative thinking. Try to quantify your past experience/results as much as possible. Recruiter seemed very annoyed and stern and left a bad impression.
Why Amazon? Tell me about a time when you were leading a group, were assigned a goal, and did not reach it? In your past experiences, tell me about your worst employee and best employee. How do you motivate yourself? Explain a time when you messed up. Give an example of a time when you found a simple solution to a seemingly difficult problem. Describe a time when you did something unexpected to solve a problem.
Did you have any problem with the team members and how did you handle it? Follow up question: Did they buy into that? They expect potential candidate to have closely related knowledge of what they are using in their facilities. The interview will pick out the part in your resume that they think will best suit their purpose and dwell into that area of your experience. You would be wise to steer them to other areas of your experience so the interview doesn't end abruptly.
Lots of behavior questions after being given a brief overview of the job and the interviewer told me all about what he does (which wasn't the position I was applying for). The last part was the production math problem as stated in other reviews about having 30 employees (2 are indirect) each workers gets 2 15 minute breaks. 150 units per hour are produced; how many units will be produced in a 40 hour work week? After getting that question correct I was asked how many employees would be needed to produce 10,000 more units in a week.
People often say the simplest solution is the best. Tell me about a complex problem you solved with a simple solution.
