The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2011
Interview
phone interview with an HR representative and then another with someone from operations. Onsite interview consisted of two groups of 2 people asking the basic questions on leadership. Was told I'd hear back in a week or two, but didn't hear anything for over 2 months.
They didn't take care of traveling expenses when traveling to on-site interviews and cost me a few hundred dollars for the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to deal with an employee not performing their job well.
All virtual. STAR interview questions (situation task action result). Think of examples of tough situations you had to deal with. I think I had 2 or 3 interviews before I got an offer. Pretty smooth process overall.
or an Amazon Level 4 (L4) Area Manager phone interview, you will face 2 to 3 main behavioral questions, alongside a highly possible operational math screening question. Because L4 is typically an entry-level management role (often targeted at recent college graduates or individuals with early-stage leadership experience), the focus shifts heavily toward potential, basic problem-solving, and your ability to lead groups of people
STAR method is a must. very results focused so add what you contributed. had 3 back to back interviews that were quick and they spent most of the time reading and taking notes
