I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Murfreesboro, TN) in Jan 2014
Interview
The best thing about it is that there wasn't an interview process. You either hack it at their breakneck packaging rate or you quit or you are let go after their document process has run its course.
In my opinion, their method of calculating rate is subject to being gamed and the amazonjitsu you have to be adept at to get the products boxed to hit rate can be aided or hampered due to environmental and physiological nuissance variables as it relates to the design of packing stations and throughput just as much as it relates to conscious effort. Half-seconds count in large amounts.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They ask the usual questions on a job application, but they do not bother with an interview. They go straight from the job application, to bringing you in for a tour of the facility where you bring proof of education, they administer a drug test orally, then you leave with job offer letter in hand.

The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Fort Worth, TX)
Interview
Easy. Pretty much hire you on the spot. You go in and apply then they pull your app up make sure you bring your id and hs diploma. Then you do your mouth swab drug test and they ask you which shift you want and when are you avavible to start. They basically throw the job at you. The easiest interview I had!
