I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2014
Interview
Pretty intensive, met with 6 people on the team. They focused on the 14 Amazon leadership principles, so be prepared to answer questions based on those topics. The questions were also very technically oriented, as well as business focused.
I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2014
Interview
Interview consisted of two phone screens and then 4 in person interviews after a personality/iq test to begin with. I applied through campus recruiting at my school. All the interviews consisted of a mix of behavioral and case type questions. The cases were not like consulting cases which take up a half hour. They were short business situations designed to see how you think about a problem.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Aug 2015
Interview
Straight forward first telephone interview with HR, second interview a few weeks later with hiring manager... offered third interview, which I was informed would be behavioural /psychometric testing. Awaited response and confirmation of third date. After weeks of chasing (no responses), I was informed position hd just been filled. Process took 2 months in total. Opinion of Amazon has dramatically changed, but probably worked out for the best if this is how they treat their people.
