I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Florence, NJ)
Interview
Submitted resume online, recruiter contacted me a week or so afterwards. Recruiter set up a phone interview, which consisted of two behavioral questions and a straight forward math flow problem. Following the phone screen, Amazon invited me to an on-site interview. During the on-site interview, I interviewed with 4 employees, one being the HR manager who failed to introduce himself before firing off 5-8 straight behavioral questions. Of the 5-8 questions, he may have asked 2 follow up questions which to me shows a lack of analytical thinking and an inability to truly assess the talent of the interviewee. Another interviewer tried to modify the math problem I'd previously done but ended up miscalculating the problem himself and I had to politely correct him. A third interviewer came off as a very nice person, but I could tell she had no clue what I was talking about once I started talking specifics about my tech background. Amazon relies heavily on it's leadership principles (in theory) and pretends to only want "the best." I've interviewed and hired a couple hundred people throughout my career and it was very obvious to me that the interviewers were far from exceptional. They are likely decent workers, but not the rock stars Amazon claims to want. I'm assuming most of the true genius is on the tech side and the manufacturing leadership, that pretends to be technical are no better than the manufacturing leadership at any of the top 500 companies globally. The interview made me truly miss the Fortune 50 company I'd previously worked for. Despite all of the above, the experience was positive for no reason other than the fact that I now know more about Amazon FCs.

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.

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.
