I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Champaign, IL) in Mar 2017
Interview
2 rounds of online assessment and a final phone interview.
1st round was extremely easy, almost like an IQ test, basically to weed out non coding applicants.
2nd round was slightly harder with questions like rotate a matrix 90 degrees, and reverse the second half of a linked list.
The final phone interview consists of one coding question in 45 minutes.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Applied through referral and it took about two months to receive the online assessments. The assessments were easy and then scheduled for a phone screen. The scheduling took two weeks but the results of the interview came back within a week.

Question 1
Straight to the coding problem. It was a very easy one. I gave the optimal answer but the interviewer didn't seem satisfied. No sure what he wants. He might want something with worse time complexity.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Parijs) in Feb 2017
Interview
Online test, phone interview and personal interview in their offices. The 10 amazon leadership principles are what's most important. They will be evaluating you regarding these principles. The overall process took 6 months. It was not a hard process, the managers were all very friendly and nice to talk to.
