I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Middletown, DE) in Jun 2012
Interview
Initial recruiter contacted me via our college alumni network. Set up an initial phone interview, then met in person with a general mgr at a hiring conference. Following that I flew to indianapolis for a large hiring event. Met with 4 people, about 30 mins each. 1 HR person and 3 manager type personnel. 1 interview was a simple case based interview, the other 3 were situation/behavioral - very straight forward.
Received an offer the next week (2 or 3 business days later)
Star Method and Leadership Principles. Just study these from the materials they give you, and form a story for each principle, and when they ask questions, you can see which principle they are asking about.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced a conflict or disagreement at work and how did you handle it?"
Multiple online tests after application, followed by a virtual interview with various staff. Staff did not want to be on camera and did not have many good things to say about working there.
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.
