I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxemburg) in Jun 2015
Interview
Everything was happening very quickly. I sent my CV and motivation letter and I was contacted back in two hours to arrange a phone interview. First one was with the HR girl, she seemed robotic on the phone, asked some basic questions: tell me about yourself, why amazon, what languages do you speak, etc. Next interview was with the manager. She shortly told about herself and then I had to talk a lot about myself. There were three situational questions where you have to tell a situation and elaborate on what you did using STAR method.
Later that day I got an invitation to an assessment day to Luxembourg. They covered the expenses. There were three interviews with different managers and an Excel test. All questions were the same about situations in the past, and Excel - all kinds of formulas.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The first round was a one hour phone interview. They promised to inform me about my success within few days but after all it took over two weeks for them to contact me again. Interview itself was very average and quite easy I would say.
