I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Singapur) in Sep 2015
Interview
Two telephone interviews, each one 45 minutes, interviewers called me and after brief presentation they have started to ask me questions. Interview was absolutely behavioral and referred to my past experience and past situations. Also, they have asked me about my fit to the role and my future aspirations, and also tried to understand my reasoning to apply for this position.
They were drilling down in a lot of situations and even were (in my opinion) too specific trying to know some details which have no value for them, but bring some bizarre feeling for the interviewee.

I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
They wanted a white paper on what I could bring to the business - their culture hates PowerPoint. They ultimately felt quite secure in the direction of their business without my insights and recommendations

Question 1
Very keen on making sure you knew the Leadership Principles and asked questions to see if you embodied them and wanted examples from your experience.
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxembourg) in Jul 2015
Interview
Very sterile, awkward introductions / requests for interviews ( a template in .doc form to complete availability?!) and fragmented communication across hiring teams. Recruiter did not know what hiring manager was doing / what feedback had been given and vs. versa.
After being asked to interview for another position after the one I had applied for was no longer relevant ( filled or my candidacy was lost in the confusion; I will never know bc Amazon "provides no feedback"), I chose to decline, as this was not the experience I expected from an established and professional company.
