I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2011
Interview
-Initial phone screening dealing with capacity to manage programs and people
-2nd phone interview related more to operational experience (metrics used, process improvement, planning)
-on site interview was amicable and straight forward. basic math problem dealing with allocating resources to complete production goals. interview manly consisted of going over responses to previously assigned questions dealing with HR, safety, and quality issues. Responses were clarified and further probed during the panel.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time you took a product, service, or process and improved it.
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.

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.
