I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2016
Interview
First, the recruiter found me through internal referral system. First round was a 30-min phone interview with her. Second round was a 1 hour phone interview with the team.
The third round was on-site at Seattle. There are 4 different rounds of interview 1 hour each.
The first round was easy, not so much technical. The second round was more technical about sql. The third is very very technical and was difficult.
Interview focused on analytical thinking and case studies. Main focus was on the leadership principles. First interview was a phone interview that covered a few basic questions and SQL coding. The loop had 4 rounds.
