The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Long Beach, CA) in May 2020
Interview
Took about a month from my application submission to be reached out. They send an email trying to schedule an virtual interview (due to COVID) that will last 2-3 hours. The earliest date still gives you about 2 weeks to prepare. All behavioral & STAR format questions. 2 interviewers. Received an email congratulating me on being a fit for the role, however, due to reached capacity for the role, they would have to get back to me with an offer at a later time, if available.

Question 1
What was a problem you were presented with and how did you solve it?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2020
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me via Linkedin about the entry level Sr. HR Assistant role and I applied through the link she sent. A few weeks later, a friend of mine who works as a HRBP at Amazon told me they paused the role nationwide (due to Covid-19). I then directly applied to a specific Amazon location. I was then reached out to by another recruiter about setting up a phone interview.
The phone interview itself was very simple and conversational. The HRBP and I went over my work background and her Amazon background. It lasted about 40 minutes in total (the recruiter said to prepare about 45 min to an hour). Prior to the phone call, I prepared to answer some behavioral questions because I had read on Glassdoor this was their standard interview procedure. However, the HRBP on the line did not really ask any behavioral based questions
