      Area Manager Interview

      Jul 11, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2011

      Interview

      The interview process was a great experience. The recruiter told me to research a math flow problem and be prepared. I did my research. However, all the math flow problems I prepared for was not the one I was asked. Come to find out from other candidates, their recruiter actually gave them the math flow problem a day prior. So they were prepared and probably received an offer. Oh well I can chaulk it up to an experience. I don't understand why amazon gives a math flow problem to see people's problem solving skills but gives the questions to certain candidates in advance. After the math flow problem, I met one on one with an operations manager, then an area manager and my final interview was with a general manager. I'm wonderiing if the recruiters are in competition to receive a commision on successful hires. To me that's not really showing ones abilities to think on the spot Overall, I was not impressed with the area recruiter that contacted me for the phone interview. However, the HR reepresenatives from corporate were great. I was disappointed that I was not offered a position. I know I would have been a great addition to their team. However, their management team thought otherwise. Time to hit the unemployment line or I will be another homeless vet!

      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.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Raleigh, NC)

      Interview

      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.

      Easy interview

      Application

      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.
