I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Phone interview with hiring manager. Was told it was a phone screen, it is much more intense than a phone screen. Approx 45 min long, included case questions. Recruiter and hiring manager were pleasant and nice to work with. However, don’t think this is a normal phone screen. It was much more difficult than even onsite interviews I have had with other companies. Need to know a lot about Amazon Alexa in detail and be prepared for hypothetical & behavioral questions.

Interview
I had 2 phone interviews.
Then I was invited to the onsite interviews with 4-5 interviewers in Santa Barbara, CA.
They asked me mostly behavioral questions and some knowledge base questions which was not too technical.
