I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (San Marcos, TX) in Oct 2016
Interview
Hiring and interview process was mass class, watched a small 30 minute video briefly going over Amazon as a whole, performed drug test, badge photo taken, no questions and no previous employment checks done.
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.
