I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Richmond, VA) in Jun 2016
Interview
Multiple interviews. First was a phone interview which lasted about 40 min. Second interview was face to face at a center (Amazon flew me down for the interviews and picked up the whole travel tab). 5 interviews that morning to include a math related process question. Third interview was a telephone interview. Each of the interviewers asked different questions and provided some time to ask them questions as well. Good, fair, process.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Allentown, PA) in Jun 2016
Interview
I was one of a "pod" of 8 interviewees. We all interviewed individually with four people over the course of a morning. Not all of us interviewed the same set of 4 people, but all met with potential supervisors and with an HR rep. We also had 15 minutes to complete a mathflow problem, with a typical example of how to allocate associates to meet production requirements given productivities in various steps of process. There was a similar mathflow question during the earlier phone screen.
Amazon did a great job of preparing candidates for interview. Provided Leadership Principals, on which all questions were based. Provided example interview questions, and explained all would be behavioral based {tell about a time when you . . . ).
