I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2016
Interview
The interview process is good overall. However, you must finish 2 online assignment and pass 2 of them then you can get this interview. For this interview, I went to Seattle to join a group interview. The recruiter will divide interviewee into teams and each team will have 2 or 3 people. According to the Nondisclosure Agreement, I will not say the question itself. But it is a very interesting interview that I can chat with proctors who are real engineers from different team. By the way, it was a great trip to Seattle and Amazon will reimburse for the expenditure.

Question 1
It is a group interview but I can tell the question.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
