I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2016
Interview
Very difficult and challenging telephone interview. Everything you say is open to being challenged and they take very little at face value. If you get through that you move on to 5-6 face to face interviews similar to the telephone. I found this easier than the telephone but nothing is given away. Everyone will be writing notes and if you aren't clear about something they will make it known. Any situations you give them must be crystal clear, they leave nothing for interpretation. Make sure you have plenty of good examples for 'bias for action'

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2016
Interview
The set up of the phone interview as very straight forward. Interview was over phone, the hiring manager was late to the call and did not have his laptop ready (he just returned from 3 weeks of paternity leave and had full day of back to back interviews).

Interview
Exactly what you heard it would be. Was not offered the job I was interviewing for but told they wanted to further interview me for other areas. When I declined, I was never reimbursed for my expenses while traveling for the interview. Mind you I was interviewing for a six-figure income role (to match my current job), I was put up in a MOTEL, 30 mins away from HQ, made to get a rental and drive to the interview and then not compensated for meals. I ALMOST had to pay for the hotel after the recruiting team screwed up the reservation. Indicated how I would be treated as an employee...
