Interview
Applied online. Received an email by a recruiter asking simple questions such as are you willing to relocate... etc. After couple of days, I was set up for a phone interview by an ops manager (had a week to prepare) the phone interview lasted about 45mins and it was pretty basic behavior questions along with a math problem.
After I was done I've waited 2 weeks than the same recruiter sent me an invitation for a hiring event at one of Amazon's sites along with 4 very easy case studies to do before the event. I went to the hiring event, there I was given a tour and was interviewed by 4 different professionals (senior ops manager, senior hr specialist, ops manager and IT manager) each interview lasted 45 mins except for the last one lasted about an hour or so.
Just practice and be prepared to answer behavioral questions using the STAR method and be as detailed as possible. Also if you don't get the math problem right from the first time, don't worry because I did the same and still got an offer. Just do yourself a favor and dont B.S when answering their questions. Good luck.

Interview
Amazon was recruiting at my university's campus careers fair where I then decided to apply online. I was contacted a few weeks later offering to fly me out to the next interview location. The interview consisted of a work flow problem, case question, and interview with current area manager. I received an offer two days later.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2016
Interview
It was actually very different than any other interview I ever had. Received an email to answer some basic get to know type questions and then invited to do an interview through HireVue. It was a virtual interview that was recorded. It contained 5 behavior/situational questions, 1 case study, and two math. You have 30 seconds to prepare per question. the 5 behavior/situational were times 3 minute responses. The case study had no time limit. The math were each 5 minutes. Takes you about 30-40 mins to complete.
