The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Mira Loma, CA)
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter within 2 weeks. The recruiter sent me a pre screening questionnaire. The questions required paragraph like responses and knowledge of amazons leadership principles. After that I was scheduled a phone interview with the SR HR Business Partner. The recruiter thay scheduled the interview said it should last anywhere from 45-60 mins. The call lasted only 13 minutes and only consisted of my experience and 3 questions behavioral questions. These were the questions: tell me about a time you received critical feedback. Tell me about a time you went out of your way for someone and why. Tell me about a process you improved in your current position and why. 2 days later I received a removal from consideration email. The process overall involved a lot of preparation from the material the recruiter sends you to prepare for the phone interview. It seems unnecessary because none of it was useful for the phone interview.
Expect off the wall behavioral questions using star format. You will need to provide tons of details or the interviewer will ask follow up questions. Most interview pods will require you to meet 3 people for separate questions.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (New Brunswick, NJ) in Oct 2017
Interview
I had an on campus interview that was very organized and welcoming. There were a group of HR managers from different Amazon Fulfillment Center sites that came to my campus and the group of interviewees were each paired to have two rounds of interviews with a different HR manager per interview. All the HR managers were dressed very casually and were all very friendly and kind. Most of the answers they were looking for were to be set up using the STAR interview method, and we heard back in about 3 business days after the interview if we would receive an offer or not.
