I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2015
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by the recruiter who asked for additional details like my available time and then set up the first phone screen. The process was fairly quick and i got the responses from the recruiter within 24 hours. The first phone screen was set up directly with the hiring manager for the next week.

One HR screening, Phone screening, Loop interview with 5 People, Team matching interview. The loop interview was tiring since it was 45mins per interview, and you would have to provide examples for LPs.

Interview
Generally conversational and asking about your resume and experience. After the assessment link is sent to you via HR, they can invite you for a phone screen. This phone screen generally lasts an hour.
They asked a lot of behavioral questions and it seemed like SQL/Data Analysis was heavily required. Would definitely recommend prepping all the common behavioral question. Also its important to know the core principles of Amazon
