I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Peking, Peking) in Jul 2013
Interview
The whole interview process lasted for almost a month. I've been through seven rounds interviews. The first three rounds were phone calls from HR, line manager and technical manager. After those were four rounds in house interviews. Finally I got the offer and the whole suffering interview process become a unforgotten memory.
Suggestion: Amazon is a good company, and its recruiting process is pretty challenging. Consult your friends in Amazon or browse in websites to collect more details about the job you want to apply, make customised refines of your resume regarding to the job description and prepare the most common questions (e.g. could you tell me an example about how did you help your team to improve productivity?) before you receive the first phone call from Amazon. Last and most, you must prepare vivid examples according your working experiences. They love to hear stories and ask details if they are interested in your stories.

Question 1
How did you express different opinions to your manager?
First I passed the assessment its not an easy one, next step is phone screen 1 hour interview, my recruiter shared helpful information; connect 12 LP's to your work examples using a STAR method, 2-3 examples per LP.
Process was relatively straight forward, I didn’t make it to the loop. What I can tell you is the recruiter will be overly excited about you as they are with all candidates. They’ll tell you, you can expect to hear back in two days for feedback. Truth is, if they reject you then you will not hear back within 2 days it will be more like a week. Silence means you aren’t getting the job, they’re very binary.

Interview
Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months
