I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Indianapolis, IN) in Sept 2012
Interview
I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter through LinkedIn and had a 30-minute prhone screening that basically covered my resume and tips for a follow-up interview with a director of regional operations. The second interview consisted of behavioral type questions and the interview was more direct/difficult than the initial phone screen. Following the interview I was contacted by someone from HR about scheduling an on-site interview at their Indianapolis,IN fulfillment center. Their HR department arranged all travel details (flight, hotel, rental car) without any issues.
During the morning of the interview our group of candidates received about a 45 minute tour of the fulfillment center. Following the tour we were brought to a meeting room/holding area where we were given a math flow problem to complete (the problem can be found on this website). Upon completion of the math flow problem the candidates began a series of interviews. I interviewed with four representatives (2 x Sr Ops Managers, GM, HR). Each interview lasted between 45-50 minutes.
