I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Las Vegas, NV) in Feb 2012
Interview
Great Phone interview. Got a call 2 weeks later to come in for an on site interview. Impressive tour of the facility and explanation of their processes. Everything seemed to be well organized. Had three one-on-one interviews with HR and ops managers. Thought I did well. I guess I asked too many questions about the Area Manager turnover that is listed here on Glassdoor. I think it scared them away.
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
