I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Patterson, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Panel interview with one member of management and one of the HR members. The questions themselves were simple, but the role-playing was awkward. The "employee" was extremely difficult and not willing to listen to the feedback amazon is required to give to associates. Also, the feedback I was given in regards to why I was declined was conflicting. They asked 3 situational questions, for 2 I answered with my experience with previous companies, and one was with my experience at Amazon. The oral feedback I got was that they wanted me to answer the situational questions more about my time at Amazon, but on paper, they wrote that they wanted to hear more about my experience with other companies. Conflicting, because with only 3 questions, it has to be more of one or the other, there was no possible way to do both
