I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (North Charleston, SC) in Mar 2016
Interview
I had a phone interview with a Senior Operation Manager! He was very relatable and open minded.
He gave a great description of his background and he also shared his perspective on Amazon culture which was very enlightening!

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Bernardino, CA) in May 2013
Interview
It is a very structured interview process. They typically involve many disciplines that may or may not be individuals that you'll be working with. Internally, the people involved in the interview process appear to be frustrated with length and effort required to filter through candidates.

Question 1
Tell me about a situation where you didn't have all the facts to make an important decision. Take me through the challenge and how you ultimately made your decision.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2016
Interview
It was a one-way video interview. And afterwards I was told (after repeated email inquiries) that I was not moving on. I have no argument with that. But Amazon has a policy that once you interview with them for any position, you are not allowed to interview again--for any position--for a full year.
This is asinine; I understand the need to cut down on excessive applications, but this goes too far in the other direction, and will discourage people from applying for any job that they are not 100% certain they will get.
