I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2015
Interview
I think I got off really well with the process. I submitted a general resume through my college career website. A few days later received an email (littered with spelling mistakes) saying they were impressed with my resume and asked a few screening questions (am I allowed to work in US, willing to work nights and weekends, willing to relocate) and available interview times for the next week. I traveled to an office and in which I completed a math problem and had 2 45 minute interviews. One was with an HR person who asked "Why Amazon?" and 3 or 4 STAR questions, then with an Operations Manager who gave a revision to the math problem, asked 2 situational case questions, and one STAR question. I absolutely BOMBED the math question; they say it is not about getting the correct answer, it's about how you think and reason, but I was not prepared or the problem or good at math and essentially stared at the numbers and asked the manager to walk me though it. I heard back from them the next business day informing me I got the position.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Apr 2015
Interview
The interviewer was very positive. He introduced him self at the beginning and have his background prior to the interview. the interview was 30 minutes. The last question is a math question, after the long interview the word problem was taxing. In sure that you discuss how you are solving the equation, they want to know how you got to the answer.

30 minute phone interview that was scheduled at my convenience.
Attended an in-person interview in Chicago the following week. There were two 45 minute interviews; one with area manager/operations manager and the second was with HR manager.
Nothing unexpected questions and math for all interview portions are comparable to what is on here.
