I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Kent, WA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Not really an interview at all. You apply online and if you pass the assessment you get an e-mail with an invitation to make an appointment with the company. The appointment was just a group presentation talking a little bit about the company, benefits, and what they do in that particular facility. Afterwards if you're still interested you get another e-mail invitation to schedule your orientation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The main question was whether or not you're able to stand for 10 hours straight with/without "reasonable accommodations."
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.
Very simple and straight forward. Drug Test and Valid ID. Very few forms to to complete and a very short waiting time. The staff was very professional and efficient. Helped you with any questions or parts that you were unsure about.
