      Area Manager Interview

      28 Jun 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Allentown, PA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Allentown, PA) in Jun 2011

      Interview

      I had two phone interviews, first with the recruiter and next with an Operations Manager. At the conclusion of the second phone interview a date was set for me to have an on-site interview at one of the fulfillment centers. All travel was arranged and paid for by Amazon. On the day of the interview candidates arrived at 8am and started off by taking a math flow test. The test given was exactly the same as previous posts. The first interview was with 2 people and I first had to draw on a white board and explain the math problem. After they were satisfied with the explanation, they threw some curve balls to show I could think on my feet. I was then asked to go into more detail on scenario based questions I was required to answer and send in prior to the interview. That lasted about 45 minutes before the next interview which was one on one and was primarily about leadership and also lasted 45 minutes. The third interview was two interviewers and was a slew of questions about real examples of the relevant skills and "why Amazon" type questions. The overall process was pretty mentally exhausting but they were fair and very honest about the pluses and minuses of working there.

      Negative experience
      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.

      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.
