I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Provo, UT) in Feb 2017
Interview
30 minute phone interview turned shoot the breeze.
First interview of the day and interviewer had called on time, but was still settling down. He politely apologized and asked me to tell him about myself while he settled down (not an unusual question, be sure to answer about your qualifications to the role, not your personal life story). My overview apparently gave the look he wanted, because he cut the interview there, passed me to the next step, and we discussed about next steps. He did mention one of the technical questions usually discussed, but I didn't have to answer directly.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
The process consisted of a technical and behavioral round. Although the recruiter stated it would cover SQL and behavioral topics, the interview focused entirely on scenario-based and behavioral questions without a live SQL technical assessment. Communication after the interview was poor; the recruiter did not respond to follow-up emails, and an automated rejection notice was sent two days later.
