I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Phoenix, AZ) in Mar 2012
Interview
Applied online for an area manager position at a distribution center in Phoenix.. Received an e-mail from a member of the talent acquisition team (also known as HR) and talked for a while to him about my background and experience. I also received a questionairre that I was asked to fill out and return, and was told they would be in touch. Next step was a mono v. mono phone interview with a senior operations manager. Again, background and resume review, and then some basic questions about metrics, leadership, managerial skills, and the like. 2 days later, I received an e-mail asking where and when I'd like to go for an on-site interview. Unfortunately, the locations did not include Phoenix, which is where the position I applied for was located. I was told I would be interviewing for an operations manager position, which is the next level of management above the position I applied for. Unfortunately, I couldn't commit to moving across the country for a job with a company I had never worked for.
3 - 45 minutes interview back to back and three different recruiters. mine was through a zoom call and they should have sent you a link through email to join
