I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter. Had 2 phone screens followed by an onsite.
Time between recruiter contact and phone screen 1 slot confirmation :: 1 day
Phone screen 1: Behavioral questions to assess cultural fit, previous work experience, basic statistics and SQL
Time between phone screen 1 -> Update on Decision -> scheduling phone screen 2 :: 5 biz days
Phone screen 2: Behavioral questions to assess business acumen
Time between phone screen 2 -> Update on Decision -> Scheduling onsite:: 14 biz days
Onsite interviews: 5 rounds (1 Director and 4 Sr.Business Managers). Interviews were interesting as the questions range from assessing culture fit to previous experience to basic SQL and statistics to solving business cases from the team's business model.
Notes to others who are aiming for a business analyst position at Amazon: Be confident and get ready to answer what you have done in your previous job. Brush up your basic SQL skills (my job description doesn't mention SQL, but I was given basic SQL questions in the interview). It's OKAY not to answer right in in the onsite interviews, your understanding of the question and approach to solving the problem and staying cool are more important. Lastly, be yourself! Good luck!
I was interviewed on Friday. Recruiter called and informed me regarding the offer on Monday morning. Was provided with offer letter later in the afternoon which I happily accepted!

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
The process consisted of a technical and behavioral round. Although the recruiter stated it would cover SQL and behavioral topics, the interview focused entirely on scenario-based and behavioral questions without a live SQL technical assessment. Communication after the interview was poor; the recruiter did not respond to follow-up emails, and an automated rejection notice was sent two days later.
