I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2015
Interview
Contacted by recruiter and setup initial interviews based on schedule. Online tech screen and phone interview. Tech screen was a 60 timed question using hacker rank. Phone interview consisted of behavioral questions based on their leadership culture and a collabedit coding question based on graph traversal. Phone interviewer was pleasant person, I froze up a bit and he helped me through the solution. Their recruiters don't reply or say yes/no afterwards for the next steps.
