I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2016
Interview
Very standard. Phone screen, coding exam, face to face interviews based on Computer Science theory. Fewer questions on experience than I expected. All face to face interviews were one on one but up to 5 in a row. Very comfortable environment and good interviewers. Just relax, it's like any other interview
