I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2015
Interview
The interview process consisted of 3 total, 30-minute behavioral interviews all of which were conducted over the phone. I interviewed with current employees who were working in different functions. Initially, I discussed which internship roles would be the best fit given my background with the recruiter before beginning the process. I was asked to rate my location preferences afterwards and had to wait 3+ months before finding out my placement contingent upon business need.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Fontana, CA) in May 2013
Interview
Initially excited about receiving a call from Amazon. The Recruiter explained the position did not have a specific shift assigned you needed to be available to work any shift. Sneaky way to disqualified older and those applicants that are parents and need a work life balance. Very discouraged and began to understand why they only have young college kids working for them. I would not be surprise to hear of union activity or a class action lawsuit. Stop purchasing things from Amazon since my interview
I had a phone Interview and two onsite interviews. The interview process was friendly but also intense; they take themselves very seriously at this company! I interviewed with about six people total from the department I was applying for. I ended up getting an offer but didn't hear back from them for over five months after the interview. Fun fact, none of the people that interviewed me ended up working with me. They had all been replaced by the time I started 5 months later.
