I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Scottsdale, AZ) in Sep 2016
Interview
Interview process was really quick. All of the questions were geared towards answering with their leadership principals. There was no math question and the interview felt more like a conversation than an interview. If you read over the packet that they send and really study for the interview you shouldn't have a problem with the questions. Most of them are available online if you search.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Chattanooga, TN) in Jan 2013
Interview
Basic phone interview with the recruiter. If you pass then you move onto the final round of an onsite interview. It lasts about 5 hours and you interview with 4-5 different people within the company. You're given a basic situation essay you have to fill out before the onsite interview, which some of them will cover with you in the interview process. It's actually a very efficient interviewing process and a lot of other companies could take a note from them.
They have a final decision for you within 3 days of your onsite interview. Again, very efficient.
