I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Columbia, SC)

Applied online. Two days later I received a questionnaire as well as schedule for possible times available for an interview. A week later I received an email saying they had gone in another direction.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you interested in exploring new opportunities at this time and why Amazon specifically?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2012
Interview
The first response from the company after submitting my appliaction online was a queestionnaire which consisted of 5-6 questions to determine if I was a good fit for the job. The questions were very general in nature (i.e. Why would you like to work for Amazon?, Minimum Salary expectations?, etc.). About 3 weeks passed and I received another email invitation to for a phone interview with a recruiter at the comapany's headquarters. This consisted of a basic "Tell me about Yourself" type questions and a few behavioral questions. In about 3 days I was invited to meet with the hiring manager in person at the company's fulfillment center. This interview was completely behavioral based questions and lasted roughly 2 hours. 1 hour was spent touring the facility while the last hour was spent interviewing with a team of 2 managers. Overall, the interview process was somewhat lengthy but well worth it after receiving a great offer! I do however wish there was more communication regarding the actual hours of the position as there were several shifts for the positon I wasn't prepared to accept.
