I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Portland, OR) in Apr 2019
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter about 3 weeks after I applied. Phone screened with recruiter, potential colleague, then hiring manager. All meetings started late, and the phone screen process took over a month. Brought in for a 7.5 hour interview with several people. Heard 4 days later that they loved me, but thought I'd be better in a different role in Amazon. This was after 3 months of discussion.
The recruiter connected me with a different recruiter, and after 3 more phone screens, I was brought in for a 1/2 day in person interview for a different role. That also was "not a good fit."
I was just passed to my 4th recruiter to phone screen for a 3rd role. I'm now 6 months into the process with no end in sight.

I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2018
Interview
I saw an opening and contacted them directly to inquire, they setup an interview with what clearly what was a new recruiter who rushed through the entire process. I never felt they were really interested, just seemed like they wanted to pretend like they consider underrepresented minority candidates considering they hardly have any, in some cases zero across departments at the professional level and above.
