Interview
The interview process was straight forward. I had 1 interview with HR and 3 tehnical interviews. The tehnical ones were very easy. There were a few motivational questions at the end of each technical interview (e.g. Why would you like to work at Amazon?)

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2016
Interview
1 coding interview through website, 1 over the phone, 1 in-person. I had to listen to a problem, then right the code for that problem. Overall, I had fun with it. The questions were not too difficult. There was one point where I was struggling to come to a solution, because I was trying to explain and think at the same time. When I got stuck, the interviewer gave helpful tips to guide me in the right direction and I used it. If you can't get a particular solution on your own, getting the solution with a hint is the next best thing.

Interview
I applied online and then I was followed up with a coding assessment that had some debugging and reasoning questions where each part had more or less than 30 minutes to complete. It took about an hour to finish. I though that I did well but I shortly got an email saying that other candidates were being considered and that I should apply in six months.

The 1st test consisted of debugging some code that had logical errors and the 2nd test consisted of general (non-code) reasoning questions.
