I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Rotterdam) in Sep 2016
Interview
Drei Vorstellungsgespräche mit unterschiedlichen Mitarbeitern. Nach einem Online Eignungstest folgte das erste Gespräch mit Human Resources. Darauf hin folgte ein Gespräch mit einem Operations Manager und Alumnus. Im letzten Gespräch wurden Details zu letztem Berufsumfeld und persönliche Details erfragt. Die Interviews waren ein Teil des Campus Recruitments, und waren alles klassische behavioural interviews. Eine gute Vorbereitung von Ereignissen der bisherigen Berufserfahrung im STARR system, ist sehr hilfreich.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Redlands, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Recruiter reviewed my LinkedIn account and reached out to me. Phone interview was scheduled. This interview included a Math Flow question and Behavior Based interview questions. Results: I nailed it! Next I was schedule a face-to-face interview in Redlands, California. Note: I was NOT advise the position I would ultimately be applying for was going to be there. Note: I reside in Georgia. Nonetheless I was scheduled to in Redland, California Fulfillment Center for this interview. The interview consisted of the following.
1) A 2-page essay review & Math Flow problem(s)
2) 4 - 45 minute Interviews with Ops Manager, Sr Ops Mgr & HR Manager
We were there from 7:00AM - 12:00PM
Pros:
1) Professional process
2) They foot the bill (Flight, Hotel & Rental Vehicle)
Cons:
1) Lack of transparency - recruiters should advise you of the job location upfront.
2) Interviewers are very impersonal (no connection or rapport). They ask questions from a sheet and type while you response. When they do raise a concern, its like they're attempting to trip you up.
3) Hard to understand what they are truly looking for.

Question 1
1) Describe a metric I implemented. Note: The questions are all here on Glassdoor, if you study these, you'll be fine. The Math Flow question is here as well, but please be prepared to explain your answer and answer the Redirect (this is an additional question to the same math problem).
I did not get the job offer as well as another candidate that interviewed. I can say from this experience that Amazon is a very difficult company to get hired. I not only believed I had a great interview, but the other feel strongly I would get a job offer, however I did NOT. I believe Amazon will miss plenty of amazing talent because they are rich and can afford to interview a huge number of candidates for (1) position.
