I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Atlanta, GA) in Sep 2015
Interview
I had mixed feelings about the interview. Of the ten college students who were there , I was the only one who graduated, and did not major in operations management. The companies lack of diversity in this process was very noticeable. If diversity wasn't a factor for me, it wouldn't have bothered me. MOST of the interviewers were nice. However, I did run into a rather arrogant interviewer about my major. I was unaware that all of the candidates were recipients of an operations type degree. The recruiter did not mention that to me when he found me via linkedin, or through email. That was an error of the hr department. If they found me from a school list or linkedin, it is public information that I am a business major with are concentration in Finance. I asked them a few typical questions about their experiences working for Amazon. I also asked about the job position's promotional opportunity. I was told working for year was a long time for that position. As a recent grad, I was looking for a more stable career that provide longevity. I knew I did not want to work for Amazon halfway through the interview, hence, becoming less talkative and interested. I believe this opportunity is great for resume purposes. I was not interested in a career with Amazon during and after the interview.

Interview
Phone screen with a current Ops Manager who asked a series of situational questions and asked which amazon leadership principles the last series of questions closely matched. A couple basic math questions were asked as well. STAR method responses to the questions are highly recommended. The call lasted almost 45 minutes. I received a fairly quick response (5d) to the phone screen but have yet to hear next steps if any since. Three months have passed.
