I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2016

First, 1 or 2 phone interviews, and a Kenexa test. Then 3 to 5 in-house (or VC) interviews, with different people. Usually, the hiring manager and another person from your team, a HR recruiter and an employee from a different team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leadership principles based questions (some of which can be found in other Glassdoor reviews...), standard for every role.
Technical skills is also something the interviewers always look for (Excel, SQL...). Be prepared on everything written on your resume.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Two rounds of interviews: 1st round over phone with behavioral questions. 2nd round has both excel writeup and in-person interviews. I had 24 hours to prepare for the excel modeling part. The next day I was asked to bring in the excel printout and a writeup to summarize my recommendation. The whole process was very smooth and I had great conversations with them. Highly recommend to go over "Amazon Leadership Principles" beforehand.
