I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2015
Interview
Very easy verbal and numerical tests. Then i got accepted in a phone interview with some background and lots of behavioral questions. Relatively easy and the woman that interviewed me seemed very friendly. I got accepted for an assessment day, where you had 4 45-minutes interviews with 4 different people (HR and Operations departments). Lots (around 30) behavioural questions that from some point on where kind of repetitive. Plus, one 15-min quantitative case study (easy, about operations). Generally pleasant experience and relatively easy and straight-forward. I didn't get an offer, but I went there unprepared for the behavioural Q since I had no time to do it. Only thing needed is to take some time and prepare for behavioural questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me an example of a situation that you had to work under pressure and how you manage to cope with that?
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.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced a conflict or disagreement at work and how did you handle it?"
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.
