I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chattanooga, TN) in Mar 2013
Interview
Went through an initial phone screening which went very smoothly in my opinion, lasted about 40 minutes. I was told that there were several positions in my area where there are 3 facilities so needless to say I was excited about the opportunity. Was contacted soon after for an on-site interview in Chattanooga TN. Once down there the interview process was very smooth and went seamlessly. The production flow problem was a breeze and all other questions were simply related to your past work history and experiences you have had with improving productivity. during the interview I was informed there were no positions in my area! I think my unwillingness to move from the start hurt my chances. I left the interview feeling really good that an offer would come. I work with a lot of ex-Amazon Ops managers and they were all shocked that I didn't receive an offer. Understanding that Amazon interviews and hires a lot of employees, I know that have had there fair share of hits and misses. I received an email a few days later stating that they didn't see a skill set that they could use. It is too bad they cannot give anymore info than that to help individuals in their career. Also, I do have 20 years in the industry and run the day to day operations of a large distribution center, so not sure what skills they are talking about.
