I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Interview process was 3 hours long, starting with a tour of the facility and then 3 consecutive, one on one, 45 minute long interviews. After touring the facility for an hour the first interview went well and then I was exhausted. It all went down hill from there.

Question 1
Describe a situation that didn't turn out the way you wanted.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Indianapolis, IN)
Interview
Be prepared to answer really hard questions in the final interview. The process consisted of three interviews and a tour of the warehouse. You can tell that there is a huge culture difference between the people working in the warehouse and the people on HR. To be honest, it wasn't my kind of work environment. They're very casual though. Don't wear a suit to the interview.

Question 1
Give me a time you made a difficult decision without telling your manager and how did that work out in the end?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Several phone calls with recruiters leading up to a call with a hiring manager. Then in person interview - 7 hours with 6 different people from various areas. Asked for a writing sample but they give this to all interviewers so don't answer interview questions with similar story/example. Recruiter was nice during the day, providing lunch, water and bathroom breaks. One person called in to interview even though they were just down the street, thought that was odd.

Question 1
Someone asked for a whiteboard demonstration on how a process was handled. Full presentation/demonstration requested on topic that had not been discussed previously. Other questions typical behavioral interview questions and by 5th person and unexpected white board presentation, was burned out going over these details again.
