I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Cork) in Nov 2016
Interview
First, the process was pretty long (2 months, one between the day of application and the first contact, and another one for the various interviews). The first interviews was a "want to get to know you" type, the HR manager wanted to know my behaviour and if my personality could match Amazon's way of working. The second interview was related to the position with simple questions related to Amazon (knowledge of the company, experience within the activities the position requires...). The "Third interview" was a written assessment. The final interview was a video conference with 4 different persons (45min each - HR, Project Managers), although they pay for the travel and hotel fees in case your presence is needed. Question are pretty basic and simple, the HR are also very comprehensive regarding your needs regarding the interviews (day and time for phone call/Skype) and let you the time to think about the right example when they are asking for real case scenario.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did you train one of your team member (Jr or Sr) to make him/her better in his/her daily work?
First I passed the assessment its not an easy one, next step is phone screen 1 hour interview, my recruiter shared helpful information; connect 12 LP's to your work examples using a STAR method, 2-3 examples per LP.
Process was relatively straight forward, I didn’t make it to the loop. What I can tell you is the recruiter will be overly excited about you as they are with all candidates. They’ll tell you, you can expect to hear back in two days for feedback. Truth is, if they reject you then you will not hear back within 2 days it will be more like a week. Silence means you aren’t getting the job, they’re very binary.

Question 1
When did you make a choice no one asked you for? Why?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxemburgo)
Interview
Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months
