I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Apr 2015
Interview
Submitted application. Then set up a Telephone interview. It's just as everyone had said. Behavior questions. Had to edit three weeks before the on/site "POD" round robin session. Meet w two site managers, an HR rep and then a Senior Manager. Day started by making us wait 45 mins at the gate. Once an local HR person clocked in they brought us in and the site manger have a tour. He also was a person who interviewed us. They said 45 mins but really they couldn't be to bothered, so they asked two token questions and then listened to them talk about generic stuff to kill time. Tell me about a time you disagreed with your boss and had to implement a process that you didn't agree with. Along with the others you have read here. Really they seemed like they had all the POD session down. It was just when interacting w real people did they seem out of sorts.

Interview
The interview process so far has been one of the most streamlined experiences I have had with any company I have applied for.
I applied via the Amazon recruitment portal and a few days later received an email to complete a numerical test online. Almost as soon as I received the email I completed this test and the next day received another email to schedule a phone interview with an amazon recruiter. i picked a time slot for the following day.
The phone interview was pretty straight forward. No tricky questions and the interviewer actually spoke a lot about the company. Questions like tell me about yourself and why amazon. Nothing too difficult. The same day of the phone interview, i received another email stating that they would like to invite me for an inhouse interview. I scheduled the interview for the following week.
The interview day consisted of 4 separate interviews with people from different disciplines within the company. 1 human resources, 2 senior operations managers (one based at the site I interviewed for and another from a different site) and 1 operations manager from a different department.
I would say all of the people who interviewed with me were very friendly. at one point, the manager from the different department was actually asking whether or not I would be willing to come work for him if the other operations managers were fine with it. There was however one of the Senior ops managers who tried to discourage me from taking on the position. I found it odd but I stuck by my guns. Another one of the managers was very expressionless and it was hard to gain any sort of feedback from my answers. He was definitely the toughest part of the interview process.
The day ended with a site tour which was rather amazing. The fulfilment centre was even bigger than I would have imagined.
So i am just waiting to hear back. i was specified a lead time of 4 working days but I have found in the past that if a company wants you, then they would get back to you before this date.
All in all a great experience and i really admire the company

Interview
Four intervenes back to back lasting about 4 hours in total. They put everyone waiting in a room together and call them In one at a time. Over it wasn't too bad of an experience. A bit nerve racking
