I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2015
Interview
You are generally flown to a centralized location with other interviewees, and go through an extensive, 3-4 part interview, including a process math problem, as well as case studies. The process itself took about half of the day, starting in the morning and ending around noon. However, there was another group coming in during the afternoon to do the same process. They make the process very easy, asking you the airport you would fly out of, and arranging a flight, rental car, hotel, as well as return trip. Additionally, you are given the ability to turn in receipts for meals, and they did not even require the car to be filled up before returning to the airport.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Milwaukee, WI) in Oct 2016
Interview
Really fast, only 2 45-minute interviews. Mostly about myself and a few quick case questions but very easy. I had to pass a few online assessments first, but the only human interview was on site and the final round. I received an offer in 2 days afterwards

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2016
Interview
First, candidates are brought into a room to awkwardly await the interview process. Casual interview attire was strongly suggested, which made perfect sense upon arrival. After a "pep-talk" from our groups recruiter, the two-part interview process began. I found the environment to be welcoming and far from stressful. This confidence could have also spawned from the make-up of the candidate pool, which was filled with upcoming or recent college graduates. Regardless, the two part interview consisted of two 45 minute interviews, one consisting of behavior-based questions, and the other situational based.
