      Operations Manager Interview

      25 Oct 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Los Angeles, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      Generally well organized and efficient. Good communications throughout the process with a number of recruiting personnel involved. Initial phone interview was very relaxed and friendly, contained a good overview of the job requirements and because it was conducted by a current Operations Manager, it was relevant and informative. He read out the 2 behavioral style questions and didn't do the math test because it han't been sent out prior to the interview. From application to the first interview was about 2 weeks (I applied from a LinkedIn job posting). The day after the phone interview, I was contacted by the recruiter to let me know that the interview had gone well and I was invited to attend an onsite interview a week later in Los Angeles. I was given all of the information I needed and all of the travel arrangements (rental car and good standard hotel) were made by them. I had to complete a 2 page written exercise, another behavioral style question (using initiative in a difficult circumstance that brought about beneficial change - one of 2 questions to choose from) and submit that within 2 days of receipt. I then received emails from the senior recruiter with additional information about how the on-site interview would be conducted - again, very informative and excellent for preparation. The on-site interview started at 7am with a facility tour from an Operations Manager called James (really chilled guy who obviously enjoyed his job and was a great advert for the company). After the tour, the 5 candidates were given a math flow problem with 15 minutes to solve it. We all finished it with time to spare and it was a little like Sudoku (fill in as many variables from the information given then work through each element). There were 4 interviewers, a General Manager, 2 Operations Managers, and a HR manager. They were all very professional and well-prepared - each of them had prepared questions from my resume. Each interview lasted 45 minutes and the most challenging is the one that goes through the written question and the math test. It goes into more detail and then has a further math test question based on a more complex version of the original scenario. They are very keen on the STAR answer format and the 14 Principles of Leadership (relate your answers to the principles as much as possible).

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Assessment, written assessment, four interviews. It was a simple but lengthy process. You will interview with four different individuals, not a panel. So be prepared for a few hours spending 30-40 minutes each. Even if you nail one two or three, if one interview doesn’t go as smooth it can cause you to not get an offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Three part questions, and what did you learn? Even if your example was spot on with the situation task action and result they still want you to provide an explanation of what you would do differently. Be prepared for this question after examples for every interviewer. They want details and exact data and numbers.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      The interview process was professional, well-organized, and focused heavily on Amazon’s Leadership Principles. I completed multiple rounds of interviews that included behavioral questions requiring detailed examples using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) format. Interviewers were engaged, asked thoughtful follow-up questions, and seemed genuinely interested in understanding my leadership experience and decision-making process. The most challenging aspect of the process was the depth of behavioral questioning. Candidates should be prepared with specific examples related to leadership, conflict resolution, process improvement, customer focus, and delivering results. Communication throughout the process was timely, and expectations were clearly outlined. While the interview experience was demanding, it provided a fair opportunity to demonstrate skills and experience. Overall, I found the process to be thorough, professional, and reflective of the company’s high standards for leadership roles.
