I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The process till job offer was really fast in comparison to my previous jobs. I was approached by a HR, had a couple of calls with him. It was followed by a written case study exam. Post the exam, I was invited to a hiring event. At the event there were 4 rounds, covering a mix of technical and managerial questions. Job was offered in a couple of days after the event.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
Two phone screens: one functional, one technical. Then I flew to New York for an all day interview with 6 individuals, including lunch with someone who is in the role to ask questions and get a feel for the role. Everyone was well prepared and treated me with respect.

Question 1
A lot of behavioral based questions and then follow up questions: Why?; How did you prepare for this interview? What did you know about AWS? What can you tell us about our services?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2017
Interview
Recruiter contacted me and after the initial conversation, encouraged me to apply. I had one phone screen with the hiring manager. Next day I got the invitation for onsite. The scheduling for onsite took a while and went onsite after 4-5 weeks or so. In the meantime, I was asked to submit a 2 page write up.
Everybody was nice but the process itself seemed a bit chaotic. None of the interviewers had the time to read the write up I was asked to submit. Most of them didn't even know whether I was local to Seattle or flew in. Also, they had no idea where I worked or what is my recent experience since they somehow pulled my resume from 8 years back (not my fault).
Also, the most distracting aspect is that one cannot carry a normal conversation since the interviewers are taking notes on their laptops the whole time.

Question 1
I don't find it ethical to disclose interview questions because of the NDA.
