Pretty easy but was a little confusing at times. Talked to 6 different people before interviewing. Interview was virtual and not personal. All they wanted to know is if I was fit to work in a warehouse
I applied to work at the distribution warehouse, and the interview process was really easy. I had just applied online and set up my prehire appointment right away. As long as you pass a drug test and background check, as well as have everything in check with your documents to work, you most likely will be guaranteed a position here.
1. Apply Online
You apply through Amazonâs hiring site
Pick your shift + location
Takes like 15â20 minutes
đš 2. Online Assessment (sometimes required)
Called a Work Style Assessment
Takes ~30â50 minutes
Tests:
Work ethic
Teamwork
Decision-making
đ This is usually the âhardestâ part for warehouse roles.
đš 3. Pre-hire Appointment / Hiring Event
This is where most people get confusedâitâs not really an interview.
You usually:
Go in person (or virtual appointment)
Verify your identity (bring ID)
Take a drug test
Get your photo + badge setup
đ Many candidates say itâs fast and easy, sometimes hired on the spot
đš 4. (Optional) Short Interview or Questions
Some locations may ask a few basic questions like:
âWhy do you want to work at Amazon?â
âCan you handle physical work?â
âTell me about teamwork or working under pressureâ
đ Nothing crazyâno technical or deep questions.
đš 5. Background Check + Offer
Background check runs
You usually hear back in a few days to a week
Some people get offers same day or within 1â2 days
đš 6. Day 1 (Orientation)
Go to warehouse
Training + safety instructions
Start working right away
⥠Reality (what most people experience)
Very fast process (sometimes under 1 week)
Very low-pressure
Often no real interview at all
More about:
Showing up
Passing checks
Being available for shifts
đ What Amazon actually cares about
Even for warehouse roles, they look for:
Reliability (show up on time)
Work ethic
Ability to handle physical work
Basic teamwork
Smooth and fast. I really like how the process went, quick and simple drug test and that was it. Nice recruiter too, she was awesome. One of my favorite interviews
