I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Jeffersonville, IN) in Jul 2020
Interview
After application, I was sent an extensive list of technical questions to answer. I answered each question and returned the list, to which I was met with a phone interview request. Was passed off between about 3-4 people during the entire process. I was also given an extensive list of behavioral questions to prepare for my phone interview as well as Amazon's Leadership Principles. Personally, I spent numerous days preparing for this interview.
Waited about a week for a phone interview--standard practice. However, the person interviewing missed our first meeting and we rescheduled.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interview questions in the actual interview absolutely did not match what they gave me to prepare with for beforehand-- they were very difficult behavioral questions, but I had prepared well-thought out answers to another set of behavioral questions they had sent and told me to specifically prepare for. This threw me off and I answered each question the best I could, however, I acknowledge it unfairly made me look unprepared and nervous-- I do not feel like the interviewer received an adequate snapshot of myself as an incumbent at all.
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.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Reached out by recruiter via linkedin and conducting a virtual 3 hour interview session with 3 different HR leaders. Standard and generic questions regarding previous experience and questions were asked utilizing the STAR method.
