I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Baltimore, MD) in Apr 2013
Interview
There is no interview process.You come and get drug tested. It's a mouth swab so no reason you shouldn't. A day later they email you with an offer.After that you get a start date.You get a start date. About a week later you start working.
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.
