I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxemburgo) in Feb 2017
Interview
Long...so many steps to get accepted and then once accepted they can't even bother to find a role that matches your profile, show no interest and ultimately rude. I would prepare for calls to then either have no show, be told job was offered to someone else or that I was better fitted elsewhere/over qualified. The recruiters really didn't seem competent, aware of how to match and I would have to chase for next steps each time. In the end pulled out of process as I felt they were wasting my time and were messing me aroun. I can only imagine how it would be when part of the workforce if this is treatment as a candidate. Strangest thing is they approached me, first recruiter was personable but they do not have the right recruitment team to engage and treat candidates with respect.

Interview
First interview was a phone screen. Interviewer was about 15 minutes late to call, and didn't bother giving a heads up that he was late. Questions were standard Amazon Leadership principles, plus a product question.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2017
Interview
Pretty straightforward but not engaging. The recruiters were great however I felt my interviewers weren't very empathetic. The phone interviews stressed a lot on behavioral, data-based questions, past experience, and Amazon's 14 leadership principles.
