I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Interview process had quick turnaround- went through two phone interviews and was immediately asked to come in for a full day interview.
The full day interview took place in an extremely small room with no windows, which almost felt like an interrogation room. There was a "bar raiser" interview speaking with the Director of the group. Very fast paced and direct. The rest of the day consisted of interviews with would-be peers and managers, those were more in line with your usual interviews, including a lunch conversation.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
The process consisted of a technical and behavioral round. Although the recruiter stated it would cover SQL and behavioral topics, the interview focused entirely on scenario-based and behavioral questions without a live SQL technical assessment. Communication after the interview was poor; the recruiter did not respond to follow-up emails, and an automated rejection notice was sent two days later.
