I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2017
Interview
Not sure I had a typical interviewing process, but I thought the company seemed like a hot mess. Instead of dealing with one recruiter, start to finish, I ended up dealing with at least 6 recruiters. It became really confusing. They weren't respectful of my time. They wanted to schedule phone interviews and phone calls in the middle of my workday. The last phone call I had with them the person called me 25 minutes late and then it wasn't even the same recruiter who I had been emailing with. Their "loop" interview process was clearly devised to boost someone's ego. Interviewing with 6 different people, forcing an employee and the applicant to make small talk while trying to eat lunch, and expecting someone to answer the same questions 6 times over a 5 hour period is just insane. Of course after they decided not to make me an offer none of the employees I had spoken with would reply back to me with questions I had regarding reimbursement of costs to fly out to interview. Lost all respect for this company.

Interview
A recruiter reached out to me by email and set up a short phone screen. I was then asked to set up time for about 45 min to an hour phone interview and was also given a writing project. A couple days later I got an email that I was invited to participate in the "loop" day of interviews at HQ.

Interview
The interview process began in June and ended in August. After I had my interview loop, they decided that I was a good fit for Amazon but that they needed to figure out what team I'd be working on. That process took another two weeks or so.
