I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Baltimore, MD) in Oct 2014
Interview
First you submit an application which they need to review and do background on. They then invite you to an interview where they describe the job and take a drug screen from you. If you pass the drug screen you will be notified in a week or two and then you come in to an orientation and that amounts to you first day of work. At that point you are an Amazonian.

Question 1
Weren't any individual questions. It was a group interview where they more described the job and what you would be doing. No one was asked any questions.
There was no real interview process, it was through the application online. The application online was fairly simple and to the point. They are real thorough and ask situational questions
I went through a staffing agency who I later learned is pretty much who you deal with the entire time. It's almost like they are your boss, not amazon. Anyway I applied online, and was told to come in at anytime for an interview. They made us get in a line and take a simple IQ test. 2+2 =4 and easy stuff like that. Then it was time for a one on one interview. the person asked me two questions and told me I was hired and did an immediate drug test. They need tons of people during seasonal so it's not a surprise they just want the hiring process to be as fast as possible. Easiest interview I have ever done.
