I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2011
Interview
-Initial phone screening dealing with capacity to manage programs and people
-2nd phone interview related more to operational experience (metrics used, process improvement, planning)
-on site interview was amicable and straight forward. basic math problem dealing with allocating resources to complete production goals. interview manly consisted of going over responses to previously assigned questions dealing with HR, safety, and quality issues. Responses were clarified and further probed during the panel.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time you took a product, service, or process and improved it.
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Stamford, CT)
Interview
Extremely unprofessional in my opinion. Talked to 3 different people, all of whom were wearing old sweatshirts and not looking at the camera. As I was sitting on zoom in a suit jacket, did not feel at all a place I would be valued at.

Question 1
Conflict between coworkers, how would you approach resolving?
All virtual. STAR interview questions (situation task action result). Think of examples of tough situations you had to deal with. I think I had 2 or 3 interviews before I got an offer. Pretty smooth process overall.
