      Area Manager Interview

      Mar 5, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2013

      Interview

      The best thing about the process was the admin/coordination from the human resources side of the house and the initial recruiter. The interview is worth going on just to see the Amazon fulfillment warehouse. I didn't care for any of the operations managers I met during the interview and really thought the position was about two levels below where I should be working post MBA. People here are awkward and don't really seem to care about their employees under them, I actually dared to answer a question outside of the star format and was rebuked by the interviewer. This isn't a place for creative or entrepreneurial people. You want the job? Just tell them you are obsessed with process improvements, make up metrics for every single task you have had in your past career and repeat every answer in the STAR format. For the case study expect them to change the expected rate for station A from 150 to 120 halfway through your shift. You should then adjust your employees from B to make up the difference and justify your shift due to packing station A being the priority and you won't have enough packages coming from pick if you shift labor from there.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Nothing unexpected, review the math process problems from here which you can find through search and expect the above adjustment or a similar adjustment. After you have made your calculations I suggest highlighting the priority and understanding how you would shift your labor to ensure this is met.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Raleigh, NC)

      Interview

      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.

      Easy interview

      Application

      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?

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      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.

      Give a time when you had to have difficult convo.
