I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2010
Interview
Got the interview through on campus recruiting. First round was two 30 minute 1:1 interviews. First interviewer was friendly and mainly asked behavioral questions. Particularly "Why Amazon". Second interviewer asked mostly case questions and asked for specific details about my background. The second interviewer pushed me to see if I had backbone and would defend my answers. Frequently tried to make me second guess my answers asking "are you sure?" or "is there anything else you would consider?"
One HR screening, Phone screening, Loop interview with 5 People, Team matching interview. The loop interview was tiring since it was 45mins per interview, and you would have to provide examples for LPs.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
Generally conversational and asking about your resume and experience. After the assessment link is sent to you via HR, they can invite you for a phone screen. This phone screen generally lasts an hour.
They asked a lot of behavioral questions and it seemed like SQL/Data Analysis was heavily required. Would definitely recommend prepping all the common behavioral question. Also its important to know the core principles of Amazon
