Interview
I interviewed online using their video conferencing software called Chime. Two preliminary fit interviews 30 mins each that focused on behavioral questions and had a lot of overlap. Then two additional interviews over teleconference, one an Excel test and the second a finance specific interview. All Interviewers had a Finance background.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Jan 2017
Interview
Interviewed with two people back to back. Had a couple of basic business questions (what numbers do you need to create a pro-forma P&L for project X?) and a few basic behavioral questions. The first interviewer was personable, but the second was rude.
