I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2012
Interview
I had two phone interviews with two separate HR professionals that consisted of basic behavioral questions. Each answer was then followed by further questions to my answers. I was also given the standard questions of what my strengths and weaknesses are as well as the "why do you want to work at Amazon" question. I thought that I had done a good job with the interview process, but I did not go any further in the hiring process.

Interview
We have three round of interviews. the first round was about general quesitons. for the second the third round, everthing is practical. The first round is a phone interview. and for the others, they are all in person in Seattle. People there are very friendly, but some of the questions are harder than what I expected
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2011
Interview
Got the interview through my university recruiting process. Had 1st round at the university- 1 interview, and 2nd in Seattle. The one in Seattle had 4 1:1 interviews, all fit no cases or mini cases. 2 interviews were ok, one clearly the interviewer didn't know much about interviewing people, just reading questions from a paper, and the 4th one was a bit aggressive and made my life hard asking follow-up questions about every answer I had.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Data Analysis example (it's very important for Amazon, especially the use of SQL)
A case they gave a friend of mine- let's say you're a product manager and you accidentally price a product too low (for example missing a zero- $100 instead of $1000) and a few customers already ordered the product under the wrong price- how would you act?
