I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2019
Interview
Relatively painless. Met with two interviewers. Screening process was ok. Interview site was kinda of far away to drive to. The position itself seemed ok though. Questions were basic and didn't need preparation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What interested you about this job
Why do you want to work at Amazon
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.
