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)
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.
or an Amazon Level 4 (L4) Area Manager phone interview, you will face 2 to 3 main behavioral questions, alongside a highly possible operational math screening question. Because L4 is typically an entry-level management role (often targeted at recent college graduates or individuals with early-stage leadership experience), the focus shifts heavily toward potential, basic problem-solving, and your ability to lead groups of people
STAR method is a must. very results focused so add what you contributed. had 3 back to back interviews that were quick and they spent most of the time reading and taking notes
