I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2017
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn about the opportunity. I applied and responded to the recruiter thanking them for the opportunity and mentioning that I did apply. In about 2 weeks I received an email regarding interview details. I filled out a short survey regarding interview dates etc that worked best for my schedule. They paid for all the expenses for me to travel for the interview, and reimbursed you for any additional expenses such as food and gas. They also give you so many tools to prepare for the interview., if you get invited to a webinar use it. You should know the leadership principles and be prepared to answer in star method. The interview itself started with a group meeting, then you interview with two upper managers. Each interview is 50 mins, the first 20-30 are your behavioral questions and the case study. The rest of the time you should use to ask as many questions as possible about the position, insightful and meaningful questions that show interest, while also relating it back to what you’ve done/what you could do. Overall the interview experience was amazing, and my interviewers were light hearted and easy to talk to. It took exactly 5 days to receive the offer. The questions are behavioral based and targeted towards their leadership principles. Due to NDA I won’t be giving the questions I had specifically, but I would recommend going in with 8-10 stories in your head that relate back to the leadership principles. PSA: it’s ok if your stories aren’t all success ones, you should include a time where something went wrong and then explain what you did to fix it. Go in happy knowing they chose you to interview, and be happy they are checking to see if you fit behaviorally into amazons culture. Stay positive and be confident!
Fairly simple. Two individual interviews with two people. They are a little misleading about shifts & schedules. Because the warehouses operate 24/7, the HR team is expected to also work 24/7. The shifts will be divided into days/hours so there is always someone able to help the associates.
I had three back to back interviews with three different interviewers a day and one interview took up to 30-40 minutes. It was a university hire process and I got heard back within 5 days.
