I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Got call from HR for hiring event. 1st hackerrank coding test for 90 mins. Code, Complexity and Unit test cases for getting some info & ordering it from direct friends in social network (gave helper functions). Next HR feedback call which surprisingly had some technical q&a like data structures insertion deletion complexity. Next was 4 rounds in-person. I think I gave a less optimal, round-about solution in the last round. Also every round had lots of behavioral questions. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful.

It is a video interview and the interviewer pasted the code I wrote in previous online assessment. I briefly explained how my code is working and any improvements can be done for my code. The interviewer also asked me how many times did I try to submit my code while doing the online assessment and how long I used for each problem. After that, we talked about the work/life at Amazon and the weather/food in Seattle. The whole interview took about 25 minutes.
