I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (San Marcos, TX) in Apr 2017
Interview
They didn't interview you at all, you just went and got drug tested. They should have used that time to describe each area, and asked what you might be good at/like to do.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you on any prescription drugs we should be aware of?
No interview at all, you go into the hiring center, take your drug test, fill out some preliminary paperwork, verify the building and schedule you want, your start date and that's it.
Not too bad pretty easy and straightforward, simple question surrounding handling and moving. Make sure you know basic safety rules as they will ask you, for example how do you carry heavy items.
Apply online, go to the on-site office for oral drug swab and ID picture. Start date is assigned once background check comes back. The actual start date will depend on how fast the check comes back but isn't normally delayed.
