I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2019
Interview
I went on to the career site for university hires, I took an assessment that took around two hours and was contacted several months later. I then was scheduled for an interview two weeks later. I did two interviews back to back with managers, I found out very quickly that the interview was not going to go well because they were looking for cookie cutter responses to any of the questions they asked. If you are good at storytelling you will get the job, experience in the industry doesn't matter. I have worked previous roles in the company and it was very clear most of the area managers hired out of the university that I worked with didn't have degrees in operations or a similar field, and didn't last very long in the facility because of it.

Question 1
Describe a situation where you were not able to meet expectations on a job 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.
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.
