I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2016
Interview
I was first given a link to a personality and situational analysis. Then after passing that stage, I received an email to interview with them in Chicago. While in Chicago, the interviewers were rude, never made any effort to make us comfortable, just seated us in reception and didn't say anything to us until they absolutely had to. During the interview, the interviewer intentionally contradicted all of my answers and I was convinced that I wouldn't receive an offer but it seems like they need warm bodies for the position, honestly. The HR recruiters who were in the waiting area were talking about someone else behind their back, no part of it seemed like a place I would be happy.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Rugeley, England) in Oct 2016

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Phoenix, AZ) in Aug 2015
Interview
Submitted a resume online. Got a call back a couple months later. Had a phone screen after a first initial email. Told me next day that I passed the phone screen. Then they organized an in person interview for a couple weeks later. Flew me out to PHX for this. 4-5 other managers will interview you. They call it a pod. They will bring you into a fulfillmenter center and you will be with many other candidates. A recruiter will coordinate it all. It will include an area manager, operations manager, and a HR person. Look up amazon leadership principles and try to relate it to those. use STAR format. Try to use as much data as you can.
