I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2015
Interview
This is an interview on campus, one round in total. Amazon HRs went to our campus to provide two sessions of online assessments, a few people in one room doing the assessments monitored by the HRs. After 10 days of the online assessments, I got the offer. The HRs are very nice and this is a great interview experience overall.
