I did two rounds of phone interviews for Amazon. The first was a 45 min behavioral interview, mostly about my resume and experiences, why Amazon, why finance, etc. The second was two back to back 45 minute interviews. One was based on a case that we had been sent the day before, and the other was more behavioral stuff.

Interview
Found job through a career fair at my school, was asked to interview the following day. After that interview, heard back within a week that I was invited to on site interview in Seattle. First part of the on site was to go through a tour of one of the fulfillment centers, then the next day was given an excel test followed by 4 45min interviews mostly centered on behavioral questions.

Name a time you had zero information about something and zero outside help, what did you do and why? Followed up with if you had information in that situation, how would you react differently?
Very technical questions largely focused on how to explain different financial contacts to different groups. They also asked a specific questions about whether or not to take a discount on a product. They also asked a few different behavioral questions before allowing me to ask questions. The interview went 45 minutes in total. They were very easy to talk to and get along with.
