I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Springfield, VA) in Sep 2016
Interview
Actually, no formal interview. You apply, wait to get an acceptance e-mail, and schedule appointments for orientation, training, etc. The process is quick and easy. The "orientation" is a group environment where an Amazon representative speaks on the benefits of working with Amazon and how the position works. You then take a drug test and take a photo after. The only thing they need to work on is the scheduling options. They will literally schedule the one and only available appointment dates/times a few days after you receive your e-mail offer. It is a little hard to work with when you have other obligations for the week, but if you miss it, you probably won't get a chance to go to another date/time because they won't make that an option.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Joliet, IL) in Sep 2016
Interview
Filled out application, got an email a few days
Later offering me a position contingent on passing their prehiring process. Had to set an appointment time. Once there they tell you all about amazon, you take an oral drug test and authorize a background check. Very quick was only there about 40 minutes. It's also done in a group setting.

No interview .Applied on line Aug 16,2016 received an email to choose a day and time,on Aug 20,2016 my phone was acting up when I tried to select, so quit trying and decided i would try again in a couple of days, they recruiting team called me a couple of days later and set up the scheduled event for me over the phone cause my phone was still acting up, so I went to my scheduled event ,which was not a normal interview,it was a group hiring event, after everyone got checked in, they made sure you did your I-9 and background check on the computer, then asked if you wanted days or nights they asked if Thurs-Sun would be ok, then checked ID and SS card ,made copies while your badge ID picture was taken,gave you a paper to give to the person, doing the drug screen and a short video on the perks of working for Amazon fulfillment, about 20-30 other job applicants were all given the test and perks at the same time when over everyone was told to watch our email,but it would take approx 2 weeks before results would be back. I had a email from background at amazon on 09/09/ 2016 asking about a 6 yr old misdemeanor charge and to reply back at the email link by 3 days ,so I explained the details and it was 09/14/2016 that I received the congratulations to keep checking my email for them to get me an orientation and safety class date and time.
