I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Atlanta, GA) in Sep 2015
Interview
I had mixed feelings about the interview. Of the ten college students who were there , I was the only one who graduated, and did not major in operations management. The companies lack of diversity in this process was very noticeable. If diversity wasn't a factor for me, it wouldn't have bothered me. MOST of the interviewers were nice. However, I did run into a rather arrogant interviewer about my major. I was unaware that all of the candidates were recipients of an operations type degree. The recruiter did not mention that to me when he found me via linkedin, or through email. That was an error of the hr department. If they found me from a school list or linkedin, it is public information that I am a business major with are concentration in Finance. I asked them a few typical questions about their experiences working for Amazon. I also asked about the job position's promotional opportunity. I was told working for year was a long time for that position. As a recent grad, I was looking for a more stable career that provide longevity. I knew I did not want to work for Amazon halfway through the interview, hence, becoming less talkative and interested. I believe this opportunity is great for resume purposes. I was not interested in a career with Amazon during and after the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview started with a flow problem. From there, the other candidates and I alternated from person to person. I met with a total of 4-5 people. They mainly asked my major, when I would graduate, why I wanted to work there, and what were my strengths and weaknesses.
Star Method and Leadership Principles. Just study these from the materials they give you, and form a story for each principle, and when they ask questions, you can see which principle they are asking about.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced a conflict or disagreement at work and how did you handle it?"
Multiple online tests after application, followed by a virtual interview with various staff. Staff did not want to be on camera and did not have many good things to say about working there.
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
