I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2018
Interview
Phone screen with hiring manager after submitting online application, speaking with recruiter, and also interviewing with someone else on the team. Both the first and second interviews lasted about 35-40 minutes. The questioned the hiring team asked were simply questions, but they were definitely looking for a particular type of answer and would follow-up until the question was answered appropriately.

Interview
1) Several recruiter calls, then...
2) Two one-hour one-on-one phone interviews with people on the team with the opening, then....
3) Provide a sample of your work output. For me it involved writing a 6-page (max) persuasive letter to a fictional CIO & CFO on why they should use AWS.

4) A one-day interview blitz with six people, one-on-one, in succession.

Interview
