I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2015
Interview
1st a phone interview with algorithms questions, it was not that difficult but not that easy too. Easier than the one I did with Google, for sure.
The recruiter did not reply to most of my e-mails and they wanted me to wait 2 months to do an on-site interview since the moment they said the phone interview was successful. I withdrawn my application.
