I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
I was a referral and it has been a month since the first phone call from HR. Two HR folks involved which at times is confusing as the left hand does no always seem to know what the right hand is doing. Two interviews thus far, first was technical followed by the Leadership Principles based behavioural one. Still going through the process.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026

You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.
