I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Kent, WA) in Mar 2016
Interview
There was no actual interview when I got hired. The building was just about to open and it as part of Amazons mass hiring all they did was take a picture for your badge and took a drug test.

Interview
It's more of a presentation than an interview for their warehouse positions, which is great, but the major catch is you have to view the presentation, do a drug test + background check, and go to another site to finish your I9 (at least at the location I interviewed at) all to not even get a call back in most cases since they apparently just "pool" candidates for later need. My location instructed me to wait for a orientation email which never came.
Instead, I just got a bunch of "updates" that string you along saying you still have the job.
My advice would be to look at Amazon when you already have employment or you already have a stable income, because if they do this during the busiest time of year when I applied(in November), I can only imagine how they operate during the rest of the year.

Interview
You bring the items requested and get your picture taken. Then, they talk about your position. I was asked about my computer knowledge and whether I would be willing to work with computers to help the company.
