I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2015
Interview
2 Phone Interviews + 1 full day of onsite, face to face interviews. Contacted by an amazon recruiter and after the initial recruiter screen, was scheduled for the first phone interview. The first interview was predominantly technical in nature, though not as technically deep as I was expecting it to be. The second phone interview was slightly more project oriented, how to manage delivery and people. After that, the onsite interviews were largely a mix of technical and behavioural. The technical questions were quite light (was really expecting and prepared to go deep... didn't happen). Had a debrief with the recruiter at the end and was presented with an offer a few days later. Met with a bunch of really great people!

Question 1
One of the most interesting questions was around a web page that was timing out when downloading data and how you would go out addressing it. I came up with so many different ideas and it was quite fun to problem solve
Applied, Recruiter Screen then nothing. Not sure when I'll get a call back. The process seems super complicated. Will apply again now that I know what they are looking for.
HR Screening was scheduled. Then 1 technical screening phone interview was scheduled, followed by two Behavioral interviews, followed by two System design interviews, followed by 1 bar raiser interview. Lastly there was an offer.
