I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2017
Interview
It's really just an application and a background check before your considered employed upon passing the background check. The training is kind of long and alot of people asking for help because it just kind of leads you into taking calls with a knowledge center that isn't really user friendly. You kind of have to guess what to type and hope you find the correct information to help you through calls.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amazon (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jul 2017
Interview
A friend shared a Naukri.com email. I sent the recruiter my resume around 9 PM and got instant reply with complete plan of interview 2 days later.
There were two F2F interviews and whole process completed in evening. I was told I have cleared F2F rounds and there will be 2 telephonic rounds now.
After around 1 month first telephonic interview happened, then after 10 days final telephonic interview.
Was asked about my previous salary slips next day of final interview. After that I took more than 1 month to get the final offer letter.
Most of the questions were behavioral. 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds were completely behavioral. Only in first round there were some aptitude questions and puzzles.

Interview
Wonderful, all I had to do is schedule a time to log on and speak to someone. However after you fill out you application, you must check you emails often and following every instruction and if you have problem with the instructions reply back quickly and check for the response.

Question 1
Actually there were none, what they were checking for if you have the Computer requirements. However at the time the program was just starting things may be different now. The training is extensive so you may feel that sink or float feeling. For the first 6 months you are going to feel like they are riding you, but if you can pass the 1st 6 months, it is like you have passed the test and they back off you so much.
