I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2011
Interview
This is a review for the phone screen only.
I was contacted via telephone by a Recruiting Coordinator who helped schedule the initial phone screen.
The phone screen was scheduled within the next week with a second phone interview scheduled a week later after I passed the initial phone screen. It wasn't until three weeks later that I was scheduled for an onsite interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The person asked questions about my current employment, what I did and what I was looking for. They asked why I was applying for that specific role and what I knew about the company. There were a few behavorial questions that was asked (e.g. tell me a time when you did not get along with a coworker). Phone screen lasted about 45-minutes, same for the second phone screen. The onsite interview was almost the entire day 9am-2pm.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2015
Interview
Was contacted by two different recruiters for the role via email. Am assuming they are contracted so aren't aware what the other is up to. Responded to one and after a little back and forthing and their needing to reschedule once or twice, we connected.
First interview was pretty basic and purpose was to determine if I'd mesh well with the team. I moved on to the next level to have a phone interview with one of the members of the team. That interview was phenomenal and to be honest, people do not know how to interview EAs, this guy did and his questions allowed me to really share what I can bring to the table.
I felt great after the interview and was told next step was to come in for a face to face. Was told recruiter would call. Two days later, got an email from recruiter saying position had been filled. Never even got to interview. Ouch.
