I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2009
Interview
The whole recruitment process lasted 2 days, with 2 interviews per day. Besides behavioral questions (tell me about a time when you demonstrated leadership, when you had to work excess hours, etc.), there were some mini-case questions. These questions refer to real-life problems faced by the interviewer. For instance, one of the interviewers was managing magazines. She told me about a time when she noticed that sales had decreased. She asked me to help her understand what could have gone wrong.

The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2009
Interview
Interviews were really fast, that was the best part. 4 interviews. A mix of case and behavioral questions. Interviewed with 2 ppl the first day, then got invited back for the second round with 2 more ppl. The offer came the evening of the second round of interviews. The best part is the speed of the interview process.

Interview
Resume screening through university. Interviewed with two different people on day one. A mix of case and behavioral questions. All cases were hypotheticals and didn't require calculations, just business judgement. Same thing on day two, just different people.
