I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2017
Interview
No one on one interview. A large group of us all stood in line to be checked in, then went to another room to hear some positive, motivational speeches about how awesome Amazon is. We then took a drug test as a group (the one where you put the swab between your cheek and jaw; we didn't watch each other pee or anything). As far as I can tell, anyone who passed was hired. I was taking a prescription drug which also happens to be a Schedule II substance, but was told that I passed. I didn't have to tell them that I was taking it, so either it didn't show up on the test, or they didn't care.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Miami, FL) in Nov 2017
Interview

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Charlotte, NC) in Sep 2017
Interview
There was no interview. Apply online, and their automated system will select you for orientation/background/drug testing. Show up to the appointment on time, and you'll be walked through it and shown a powerpoint about the company, and pick a shift. Differentials are available for the most inconvenient ones that they have trouble filling, but not a whole lot.
I showed up to my day one (which was about two months out from the interview) and ended up in a line of traffic trying to get into the parking lot. There was a young kid (18 or so) wandering around, talking to people in their cars in the line. I was all the way at the back, and ignored.
I arrived fifteen minutes prior to my appointment/shift start. After waiting until 15 minutes AFTER my shift start time to even get my car parked and figure out where I was supposed to go, I gave up and drove away, with images of cattle being herded into a chute in my head. You'd think a company this massive would have a better handle on how to coordinate a mass hiring push prior to their busiest season.
So I got an offer, but I decided the hassle wasn't worth it. I'd much rather stay with my other job, because not only am I paid better there, but I travel out of town semi-frequently and Amazon's holiday blackout period would interfere with that. So, I'd have probably ended up quitting anyway, now that I think about it. Oh well.
