Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
15 Minute for a math question, 1 interview with operations manager, 1 interview with HR person.
You take the math question in a room with all the other candidates, the recruiters aren't useful and don't reply to your email... Always say you're willing to relocate anywhere because they'll most likely hire you (even if they say it doesn't affect your interview).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was something you were going in to and noticed that you're going to fail, what did you end up doing
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Tacoma, WA) in Jun 2015
Interview
The initial phone screen questions were mostly behavioral based - Describe a time when you... and focused more on my team building examples. The initial phone interview was pretty straight forward and I was referred on to the next step in the process (on site interview at one of their fulfillment centers with other candidates) however, there are no scheduled interview events scheduled for the next 2 months. I don't understand how they advertise open positions and then not have a timeline to hire the candidates. I will have to keep applying to other positions while I wait for months for the next step in the process.

Question 1
Phone screening Math Flow question: You have 30 associates, 2 are not on the production floor. Each can process 150 UPH; Each works 8 hr days, 5 days week; each day each worker is given 2 15 min breaks. How many units can they output per week? Once I answered that part correctly, I was asked how many more associates are needed to produce an additional 10,000 units/week?

Interview
First online tests, then two phone interviews and then 4 interviews at the offer Fulfillment Center. The questions are the described in other posts, but without any numerical questions, is just another STAR panel interview. The interviewers some times seem unexperienced and sleepy, some may play a role in order to make you feel nervous, uncomfortable, etc
With a proper preparation at home the interview process should be smooth, don't worry too much about the result, at the end is just a process.
At the end during the visit to the center, a former Area Manager said that the position is not the most desirable, and that they try to move fast towards Operations Manager position, but I think depends on the likeliness of each person to the role.

Questions about why you included that hobby, etc in your cv, what do you think that can improve your profile, etc
