I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2016
Interview
2 rounds of phone interview followed by on-site. Then a written assignment due in 24 hrs. The HR recruiters at amazon are notoriously bad. You have to really keep an eye on them and push them to communicate back. They are super disorganized and often do not follow up on promises. Also, the HR interfaces have no idea about what the actual hiring team is looking for and have basically no helpful advice or insight about the interview process other than what they were trained to repeat from boiler plate response.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview was conducted virtually. 2 interviews - 30 min each with 2 different people. The interview was through Amazon system. The atmosphere was nice, a lot of additional questions to understand the process better.
