The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Referral. Multiple phone screens then an on-site. Amazon has lightning fast turnaround times. Normally a day or two max.
Most questions revolve around leadership principles and you need to be prepared with stories about your past accomplishments. They will dig into the finest details of your story so make sure you remember everything or write it down. Don’t take it the wrong way if they keep digging or if they cut you off to ask a more detailed question. They just want to be sure you know what you’re talking about. Any technical skill mentioned will be immediately tested more or less on the white board or with a clarifying question.
I probably sat with 7 or 8 people that day.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxemburgo) in Aug 2017
Interview
After a screening interview over the phone, I got the interview offer for a Senior Product Manager role in Luxembourg. I had four back to back interviews later in Luxembourg. Overall the process was nice, but a bit tiring. 3 out of 4 interviewers were very nice and willing to understand what I was talking about. The last interviewer checked her mails, phones and wrote over his mobile phone. Still the interview process was very pleasant.

Question 1
They were basic STAR questions. You should work on your biggest successes, failures and most impactful projects. They seem easy, but when they ask you 20 of them back to back, it gets pretty tiring.
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview process was very typical for graduate level university students. Once we were told we had interviews we had about two weeks before Amazon would come to campus to interview us. The first day consisted of two 30 minute back-to-back interviews. At the end of the day you would be notified if you made it to the second round, which would take place the following day. The second round consisted of 2 45 minute back-to-back interviews. Three days later you would hear whether you obtained the internship or not. Overall the experience was great. The interviewers were professional and friendly and the quick turnaround was very well received by all candidates.
