I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2011
Interview
One phone screen and four/one hour face to face interviews. Interviews were in succession and were conducted off site. Interviewers were from different areas within Amazon org including corporate and customer service.
4 rounds of behavioral interview. Need to prepare at least 4-5 successful projects to answer all questions that applied with different leadership principles.
Two are within the team and two are bar-raisers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: How do you use data to solve a problem?
Q: Tell me about a time that you dealt with a hostile customer.
It was a couple of individual interviews but then when you got further along, it turned into all day interviews with multiple people. You basically had to be available for an entire day (regardless of what you said your availability for interviews was) and then they would change the time day of with minimal notice.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England)
Interview
Quick, professional and thorough. Focus in the STAR method. First call with the recruiter was incredible helpful. Second call with the area manager was tough, as you have to follow the STAR method in every single question
