I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2015
Interview
Two online coding assessments based on algorithm solving. On-Site: My interview was different then I expected. It seemed it was something new they were trying out. 24 interviewees were brought in and split into teams of two or three. We were given a project that could clearly be split into 3 parts. We were given 5 hours to complete the tasks with two 1 on 1 check-ins about our code and methodology. We submitted our code online once the day was done.

Question 1
What is the best way to solve the problem? Efficiency and time
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
