I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2015
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me via email. I had to undergo 2 stages of interview. The first part was online debugging test. It was very easy and i heard back from the recruiter immediately fixing a date for my phone interview.The next stage was technical phone interview. The questions were straight forward and the interviewer was very helpful in walking through the questions. We had a shared screen for coding.
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.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
