I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2013
Interview
Submitted through campus site, got an on site interview scheduled. It went really fast, doesn't feel like two hours at all. Interviewers are really nice helpful people even if you don't know the answer right away. A lot of behavior based questions(They ask for details as well, so know every sentence in your resume). Couple math questions. Nothing unexpected.

Straightforward process:
1. introduction 2. Why Amazon? Why ads? + three somewhat complex BQ questions 4. a short case study 5. My turn to ask questions.
Prepare your BQ really good and go learn the LPs cuz I definitely failed that part and was confused by myself during the storytelling.
