I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2014
Interview
Applied online and received and phone call within days to start the process. This call was a feeling out process to determine interest, capabilities and of origin of application. A second call was an actual interview where I had to detail my experiences and answer questions like, "why amazon" & " tell me about a problem that you fixed". There was also a fairly easy math flow question about labor staffing. I was scheduled for an in person interview in Breinigsville, PA. There were about ten people being interviewed. We took a plant tour and met with three Ops managers and one HR manager. The interview seemed to be about personality traits and direct management experience. It was a fairly difficult and thorough process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some questions were repeated, but in different ways. I felt like I was done if I answered slightly differently.
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
