I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2012
Interview
4 individual interviews back to back. Behavioral questions. The person would take notes by typing on their laptop. Pretty straight forward. Some really dug into the answer I gave to a situation with even more questions. At the end of the interview, they'd give you some time to ask them questions.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to sacrifice short term gains for long term goals.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Initial interview with a recruiter. After the first phone "screening", they had me do a case study that was due within 2 days. After submission, they notified me the following week to say that they would like to move forward with the first interview. I was hoping that the interview would be based on sales strategies, as I was applying for an Account Manger position, but they were all behavioral questions. I absolutely despise these questions, because I would think that they would want to know how I think, instead of if I can come up with cheesy answers about how I "saved the day". These questions are pointless to me.
Very brief phone interview to start then an in person interview. Very simple, basic questions. Name a time when, why do you want to work for amazon, what happened at your last job.
