I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Mostly case-based questions. Only one behavioral question, and it was: why did you GPA drop after you transferred from community college to University. Some of the cases questions are: what could you find in specifically Kindle's financial statement that is different from hard-covered books financial statement?
Be prepared to be under pressure, but stay confident.

Interview
4 interviewers at stations, with one "bar-raiser" to ask the difficult questions. Although I thought all interviewers had a similar level of difficulty. Most of the questions were analyical--Amazon is not interested in soft questions about your life, and is not interested in the way you dress for the interview either. The analysis was very scenario-oriented: say Amazon is facing a finance decision; what steps would it take?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What sorts of costs does Amazon face as an online seller of goods?
