I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Brea, CA) in May 2015
Interview
I attended an information session on Wednesday and got an interview on Friday. The interview itself was in two 45-minute parts with two separate interviewers. The first part was an easy math question, along with some situational 'what if' questions. The second part of the interview was with an HR rep, and mostly consisted of questions about how I reacted in certain situation in the past.

Question 1
There are two employees who carpool to work: one works for another manager, and one works for you.They are half an hour late one day. On their next paycheck, the employee working for the other manager gets paid for half an hour more than the employee who works for you. Your employee asks you why the other employee was paid and they were not.
Star Method and Leadership Principles. Just study these from the materials they give you, and form a story for each principle, and when they ask questions, you can see which principle they are asking about.

Multiple online tests after application, followed by a virtual interview with various staff. Staff did not want to be on camera and did not have many good things to say about working there.
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
