I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2014
Interview
The interview process was discombobulated to say the least. It was evident that I was being handed around to different people during the process. I interacted with approximately 6 different recruiting coordinators and recruiters. Was brought onsite twice for two seperate positions. Communication about the process was minimal, not consistent, and incredibly confusing. Learning the STAR method of interviewing and studying beforehand was helpful. The interview loops are intense. Answering questions from 6 different people through the course of one full day is overwhelming and seems intentional. Take heed as this is a real glimpse into how Amazon operates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All interview questions during the interview loop are behvioral in nature, "Tell me about a time when..."
Screening call, five ‘loop’ interviews & HM chat. Loop based on Amazon leadership principles & STAR interview format. You receive plenty of information on how to prepare for the interviews which are back to back and 1 hour each

Question 1
Tell me about a time something went wrong, what were you doing, how did you deal with it…
Very intense. 2 phone screens and 4 45 minute interviews, known as the loop. The recruiter prepared me with much detail about what to expect. If you prepare, you’ll be fine.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Went through phone screening and never heard back even after reaching out to recruiter. It was unusual since they are usually quick on notifying you. I've went through a few interviews with them in the past.
