I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chattanooga, TN) in Jan 2012
Interview
I received an email on careerbuilder for the job. They asked several questions. I answered and never received an initial call back. I then contacted the recruiter but without success. I then received an email stating I was not selected. I had a co-worker going through the process and he was selected and offered the job. He gave me the recruiter's name and number. I contacted him but he never returned my initial call; however, he did send an email asking me to pick a day and time for a scheduled interview. I interviewed over the phone and at the end of the interview, the recruiter asked that I give him a call the second week in January; I interviewed December 7, 2012. He never called but he did send an email ending the process.
The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2012
Interview
Had the basic recruiter interview followed by a e-mail questionnaire. A month later the recruiter finally contacted me by phone, 25 minutes into it she wrapped it up. Five days later got an email saying thanks we will keep your fie active for six months but don't call us we will call you.

Interview
I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter via email for an operations position in a new warehouse they are building. We went back and forth for a few days by email until an phone interview was set up. The interview lasted about 30 to 45 min and was basically the STAR format. I personally thought the interview went well due to my ability to answer the question because of my past jobs. Unfortunately the interviewer did not think so and 2 days later I got the email saying thanks but no thanks.
