I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I was recruited for this position due to my previous experience with lean management, despite not having any background in operations. The interview was straightforward - the math flow question was exactly the one that someone else posted on here. The interviewer was friendly, punctual, and very on-topic.

Question 1
I can't remember too clearly, but it was about you being a manager at an ice cream shop, and two people you're managing are not cleaning the machines up to the official written standard - how do you handle the situation?
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.
