      Operations Manager Interview

      10 Sept 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Indianapolis, IN
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Indianapolis, IN) in Jun 2012

      Interview

      Met them at a social event following the first day of a 2 day career fair for Military Academy graduates. They projected the corporate image of "We're Cool, how about you?" Their follow-up was "we gotta have you now!!!" panic/excitement/urgent/confusion. Clearly the principals were not all communicating with each other. Three different people in the firm seemed to have "found me" and did their best to urgently get me to come to an interview and nail the job down- all independently of each other. Many texts/emails with canned questions. They flew me to IN for series of interviews. I smoked them (they told me as much, to include the math/production line question and presentation of my answer). Us older/experienced guys are good at that. I got the impression they didnt want experience... they want ability and youth so they can wear you out and replace you (plus I heard that from several people who had worked there). Their veteran's hiring program leaves much to be considered. They want veterans- its part of their marketing ploy as well, yet they do not consider whether you were an E-3 truck driver or an O-6 Brigade commander... everyone starts at the bottom. If you survive, you will probably move up the ladder a few notches. Problem is, if you have already climbed to the upper level elsewhere, you cannot afford to start working on the salary and "hope" that they give you. They do "hope" you'll move up, but wont really offer you a "Manager-In-Training" or an Executive level position, just the "hope" that you can get there from where they start you. They share a dysfunction of many corporations: They do not understand the difference between "management" and "supervision." They DO understand that many job applicants can be enticed into a job by an important sounding title... without the important pay that goes with it. Not saying they dont pay well. They just dont pay well if you are already an accomplished mid or senior level career professional. I put a stop to the non-sense by telling them what I expected in terms of compensation. They dropped me like a rock. If you have never worked on an assembly line or in a fast paced manufacturing facility, brace yourself. That is what Amazon does. It is not an easy life, and it will wear you out. If you are a 25-30 year old, take a crack at it. If you are older than that and have not worked in a factory, you may want to save the time and aggravation of applying for their "management" positions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      None. Study the other variations on the math problem (several are posted on GlassDoor). They will change it after you give your initial answer- they want to see if you can think on your feet and handle stressors caused by change. Be calm, think, then respond.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Assessment, written assessment, four interviews. It was a simple but lengthy process. You will interview with four different individuals, not a panel. So be prepared for a few hours spending 30-40 minutes each. Even if you nail one two or three, if one interview doesn’t go as smooth it can cause you to not get an offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Three part questions, and what did you learn? Even if your example was spot on with the situation task action and result they still want you to provide an explanation of what you would do differently. Be prepared for this question after examples for every interviewer. They want details and exact data and numbers.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      The interview process was professional, well-organized, and focused heavily on Amazon’s Leadership Principles. I completed multiple rounds of interviews that included behavioral questions requiring detailed examples using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) format. Interviewers were engaged, asked thoughtful follow-up questions, and seemed genuinely interested in understanding my leadership experience and decision-making process. The most challenging aspect of the process was the depth of behavioral questioning. Candidates should be prepared with specific examples related to leadership, conflict resolution, process improvement, customer focus, and delivering results. Communication throughout the process was timely, and expectations were clearly outlined. While the interview experience was demanding, it provided a fair opportunity to demonstrate skills and experience. Overall, I found the process to be thorough, professional, and reflective of the company’s high standards for leadership roles.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time you had to lead a team through a significant change. How did you gain buy-in, overcome resistance, and what was the outcome?
