I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2012
Interview
Started with questionnaire that I filled in and sent back follow STAR format. Then had a 30 min phone interview with the hiring manage with what are you looking for, what was your best, worst type questions and was invited for an onsite. Met with 8 people in 6 hours with no breaks. Mostly STAR type questions. NO one really seemed happy or excited; they seemed over worked, haggard. They really pushed on why I made decisions.

What data did you use to support your decision to cut a product?
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
