I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I had 2 phone screens followed by onsite interviews. I did poorly on my first phone screen but did a great job on my second technical one. The onsite interviews were long from around 9AM to 5PM. I had 6 interviews including a lunch one. One interviewer was delayed, so I had a little break in the middle. The questions were mostly behavioral. The only snag was that my recruiter didn't show up for the last interview slot, so I waited endlessly before they let me go. Overall I enjoyed talking to all of the interviewers and connected with most of then easily. The day felt more like a chat, getting to know future colleagues, rather than an inquisition.
I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2011
Interview
Contacted by HR. Completed a quick 30-min. phone screen with another Senior Product Manager, then was flown to Seattle for a day of meetings with 6 people from the business unit. Interviews felt strained, some to the extent of being almost combative. Very different than what I've come to expect. Fantastic company, but not a great fit.

Question 1
What would you do then? (repeated over and over again)
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxembourg)
Interview
I had two Phone Interviews - 1 HR and 1 Head of Product Management (in EU), which were basic screening interviews.
Then I had 6 Interviews on site which they call the loop. The majority of the interviewers focused on one or two questions in which I needed to relate my background to the question. They then went into the details asking additional questions on top of the original question, so you should have a good answer the first time. The interviewers like to get into the details around statistics and data related to product or an outcome of a project if that is what you used for the answer. I don't remember many of the questions now, but one was "Name a time you implemented a process improvement at your company/client. How did you go about doing it? What was the outcome? How were you able to measure it? Who did you complete the task with? Is there anything you wish you did different?"
