I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in Oct 2012
Interview
I got a call from Amazon informing me that my resume has been shortlisted and I have to attend a phone interview. I prepared well for the interview and on the given day got the call. The interviewer was warm and professional. He asked some straight questions but I felt he was expecting some technical terms in my answers which would let him know the processes we follow in our current organization. He asked me about performance management and PIP and also the metrics used to measure employee performance. I gave my best replies but felt it was not enough. Immediately after the interview I was informed that I have not been shortlisted.

Question 1
I was asked to explain the metrics on which employee performance is measured.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Initial phone interview was with an HR representative from Seattle. The interviewer had specific questions in order to decide if a follow up interview was warranted. Received follow-up interview by a Senior Operations Manager who asked specific leadership questions. Successfully completed the second interview and was flown to the Columbia facility for final interview by four personnel. Was not selected for the position and no reason was given nor did I ask. Received another offer from a different company.

Question 1
A majority of the questions were centered around the Amazon Values and Leadership Principals.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Phone interview with a Sr Ops Manager was unremarkable. Know the company and their values and relate your experiences to their values.
Invited to an interview at a Fulfillment Center. All transportation, lodging arrangements were taken care of. Details on where/when arrived via email the day before the interview which was a little late and somewhat disconcerting.
5 hour interview process, a facility tour and four 50-minute one-on-one interviews (2 Sr Ops Managers, HR Manager, General Manager). Everyone started with "Summarize your resume for me" then moved on to behavioral interview questions. Again they are looking for your answers/stories to reflect the company values.

Question 1
Math case study was the same as others have detailed on this website. Don't just know the answer, understand how to get it because you will have to demonstrate it on a whiteboard for the interviewer then the interviewer will change one of the "givens" and ask you to recalculate.
