I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Irvine, CA) in June 2015
Interview
There wasn't one. We were told that we scored high enough on the online evaluation to get the job. The drug test kits were already assembled on the tables and they gave a short presentation on what amazon was like.

No interview at all, you go into the hiring center, take your drug test, fill out some preliminary paperwork, verify the building and schedule you want, your start date and that's it.
Not too bad pretty easy and straightforward, simple question surrounding handling and moving. Make sure you know basic safety rules as they will ask you, for example how do you carry heavy items.
Apply online, go to the on-site office for oral drug swab and ID picture. Start date is assigned once background check comes back. The actual start date will depend on how fast the check comes back but isn't normally delayed.
