I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I connected with a recruiter via email after a job fair. I was initially set up for a phone interview, which consisted of 4 questions, three behavioral and one math question. It was pretty straightforward. I don't believe the interviewer knew anything about me, probably didn't even have a copy of my resume. I was then contacted about an on-site interview, in about three weeks. I attended the "on-site interviews," which were actually at a hotel. There were around 15 other candidates. I was interviewed by four different people, each asking behavioral questions, except for one who went over a harder math problem. It was fairly straightforward, but a little nerve-racking. The interviewers ask more questions that drill down to the details of your answers.

Question 1
The question that caught me off guard the most was "Describe a time where you did something unexpected to reach a solution."
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I was recruited at College during one of our job fairs, so my first interview was at the school's career center. it was 2 days later that they called me for an on site interview. I was flown out to their Delaware fulfillment center and interviewed with 4 different managers. Overall the process took about 2 weeks and the on site lasted a little over 3 hours.

Question 1
Most of the questions asked were pretty standard but one rather difficult one that stumped me initially was when they asked me a time to speed up a process. There is also a math problem solving question that you have to answer. They give you 15 minutes to figure it out then you have to discuss it with one of the interviewers.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I applied through a current employee referral. Set up a time with the amazon recruiter that would work for both of us for the phone interview. The phone interview was about 40 minutes long. The amazon recruiter was very organized and helpful. She asked the normal questions like "what are your strengths/ weaknesses?"
