I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2015
Interview
I applied online from the Amazon website and I heard back maybe a month or so later. The first round was an online interview through HireVue. I wasn't actually speaking to a real person, I was just recording my answers. These questions were all behavioral and not very tricky.
A few days later, I heard back saying I made it to the next round which consisted of 2 back-to-back phone interviews with area/operations managers from various sites. Before the second round, I had to do a math questions about allocating labor across different departments based on package demand or something like that--it wasn't impossible, but you do have to think to get it.
The first phone interview was me explaining how I solved the math problem and the interviewer changing some variables and me answering those questions. The second phone interview was just a few behavioral questions about working in a team, working under tight deadlines, etc--nothing you wouldn't expect from an interview.
2 weeks later, I received an offer and I accepted! The job description and interviews don't really give you a complete idea of what the job is actually like, so do some research and ask your interviewers questions!
Three phone interviews with different Area managers and one math assessment. Interview tied into their core values. They asked a lot of resume questions and how I believed my experience prepared me for the internship.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied online around Nov 2015. Process ended in early March 2016.
Interview consists of 2 parts:
1. An online interview (happened in Jan 2016) that you can do in your own time. Dress code is casual (Amazon culture), but must be decent because you will be recorded. Typically around 30 mins, you have 30-60 secs after each question appeared before your response will be captured.
2. If you passed this, you will received an email to confirm time for two 30-45 mins phone interviews (Feb 2016), back to back, with Amazon Operations leaders (two Area Managers in my case).
Amazon's recruiter will response back quickly afterward, I received an email offer after 2 weeks of my phone interview.
