I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cleveland, OH) in Oct 2015
Interview
A recruiter contacted me via email a couple of times asking to set up a phone interview. The phone interview was about 30 minutes and they asked basic questions to learn more about myself and tell me about the job. Afterwards, I was asked to take an assessment within 72 hours. This included a lot of situation based questions and lasted about an hour. They contacted me via email a few days later asking me for an on-site interview in Detroit, Michigan. I had to decline because it was too short of notice and I am in college (they emailed me on a Tuesday and wanted me there by Friday morning but I had a midterm that day). I asked them if I could reschedule and they sent me an interview confirmation for that next Thursday in Cleveland, Ohio. The on-site interview was in a conference building and lasted about 2 hours. There was a 2-on-1 interview, a case study, and a math flow problem. They give you a sample math flow problem to practice before the interview but don't give you the case study in advance. I, personally, thought it was a very smooth process and the interview wasn't too bad at all. I didn't get the math flow problem right the first time but I still got an offer. I heard back 6 days after the interview (including a weekend) and they say you typically hear back whether you get an offer or not in 5-7 business days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic behavioral based questions. I can't disclose exactly what was asked due to a confidentiality agreement.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Stamford, CT)
Interview
Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Talked to 3 different people, all of whom were wearing old sweatshirts and not looking at the camera. As I was sitting on zoom in a suit jacket, did not feel at all a place I would be valued at.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Conflict between coworkers, how would you approach resolving?
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
