I applied through university. The process took 9 months. I interviewed at Amazon (San Jose, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Terrible communication throughout. Applied and had phone screening and initial phone interview in Mar, didn't hear anything back until April saying they were interested in having me on-site but didn't know when that would be. Figuring I'd been brushed off, I forgot about it, then the week before Thanksgiving they say they want me on site. Offer came in December and I asked a few questions and didn't hear back from HR for days. Thought I had lost the offer. Overall, a crazy experience.

On the flip-side, one of the interviews was the BEST I have ever had, the interviewer challenged me and made me think in ways I hadn't before.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot of behavioral questions, several math-flow problems. How you deal with a certain situation with workers. Then they will change a few things up and have you re-analyze on the spot and talk through your thinking.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2017
Interview
Process was straight forward and took about 3-weeks. There were no surprises on how the interviews were to take place. Must show how you used metrics to improve processes over time.

All questions were behavioral centered around the 14 Leadership Principles.
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2017
Interview
After applying for a non-variable position, the recruiter offered me a job in a different city, which stalled the process for several weeks. After escalating the problem to the hiring manager I got on-boarded and they treated me very well in training. As an internal promo, however, I received about 2/3 of the total compensation of my peers.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Lawton, OK) in Jan 2016
Interview
Conducted a phone interview first, I passed that process now I'm waiting for the group interview. The position I applied for doesn't become available till the Spring, so hopefully things go smoothly.

Question 1
They give you a math problem. I thought it would be difficult but was rather easy. Just breathe and take your time.
