I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Applied online at Amazon.com. Got a phone call from a recruiter about a month later. The recruiter scheduled me for a phone interview with another recruiter. Had the phone interview, then received word about 2 days later that I had passed and would move on to another phone interview with a Site Manager. Had that phone interview, and that person also informed me that I'd be a good fit for the company and recommended me to conduct an on site interview. Got an email from another recruiting coordinator a week later and was scheduled to fly to Amazon in Seattle, WA for onsite interviews. Had 4 interviews with regional directors and an HR manager. Went straightforward and as discussed in the emails leading up to the on site. STAR format, know the leadership principles inside and out and thread them into your behavioral answers they ask. Have your stories ready to go; practice the behavioral style questions before you get there.

Interview
Bogus experience. The process took months. The people interviewing had this attitude of "they could do no wrong". HR manager was a joke. Candidates are treated like criminals passing through their metal detectors. Two phone interviews, passed off to multiple hr associates trying to get a in-person interview. This company is messed up.

Numerical test, They will send this through and you have a week or so to do it. I found this test harder than other numerical tests I have previously done. I did pass though
Phone interview with Senior Ops manager. Very casual and good to hear from some one doing the job you are applying for.
Very strict on Target setting and performance monitoring

Question 1
How do you monitor targets in your current role. Answer lots and lots because they don't want the truth that you only set 1 or 2 targets even though your current organisation isn't set up for lots of targets
Tell me about a time you had to stand up in front of your whole work force to give bad news
