I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
My process is probably a little different from others. I got hired from my school's career fair (which I used to think was a pointless thing to go to).
I just made sure that the people tabling (which ended up being my team) knew that I was VERY interested in Amazon even before I saw them at the career fair. I sent them a few before-fair emails, talked about my projects at the fair, and sent them a few more emails post-career fair. A few weeks later, I got an email asking if I wanted to have another phone screen.
The phone interview was surprisingly 'unorganized.' The guy I talked to just mentioned what the team and location I'd be working at is like, and gave me a talk on the hierarchy of the org. I never talked about my projects or who I was (though that may be because I already did at the career fair.)
After a week of silence, I was invited to come in for the final on-site interview.
The recruiter told me that I would have to prepare a presentation, which he later followed up with a call about the details of how I should prepare. Even the manager who would be interviewing me onsite called me to ask if I had any questions while preparing, which I thought was very considerate.
The onsite consisted of an hour long presentation of my work (I recommend using Keynote!), followed by lunch with a buddy of your choice, and 5 one-on-one interviews with no breaks in between. It was exhausting, but everyone interviewing me knew it was, so they were very accommodating, which made it bearable.
By the last interview I had no idea what I was saying, but overall I felt pretty good with myself.
They told me they'd get in touch, and 1.5 weeks later, I got a call from the recruiter offering me the position!

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA)
Interview
The general process is having three phone interviews, and a half day in-person interview. I had two phone screens. You will work with one Sr. UX designer in Boston, and have online meetings with others from other counters and cities. If you are looking for human interaction, this position is not what you want.

Question 1
First phone interview was 30 mins, and it was very easy. A Sr. UX designer asked questions that you can find through Google. She told me to prepare a simple design example for the second phone interview. Another Sr. UX designer from Seattle called me, he asked questions base on the examples you show. The question level compare to the first interview was unexpected.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2017
Interview
I was contacted by HR recruiter 2-3 weeks after meeting the recruiter at my school event, and had my phone interview with a manager in the hiring team. And one week after I received the notice for on-site interview. The process is really smooth and high efficient. They provide detailed information for each step of the interview
