I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2017
Interview
very seamless, process oriented and all interviewers are friendly. First two rounds were telephonic and questions were basics of computer science. After clearing two rounds, I got opportunity for the loop. They asked me to sign an NDA so can not reveal questions but it was very friendly and more like discussion based on my past experience. one round was technical deep dive and white-boarding and others were behavioral, focusing 14 Leadership principles.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
RAID, Docker, DevOpS, Difference between application servers and web servers, High availability of databases, basic networking questions, Design an eCommerce application using AWS services.
2 persons showed up on the second interview, straight from the beginning it was obvious that they don’t want me for so reason, still they dragged for one hour. Then I realised that this is a presale team and they are trying to fish for information about my current company - I work for big 4 bank. Then even though I started to act obviously weird they still kept going. Hilarious. Interviewers great of your current NDA.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Interview consistent of a 1 hour phone screen over chime, followed by "the loop", which was 4 back-to-back 1 hour interviews. The interviewers were potential team members, the hiring manager, as well as a bar raiser. The questions were a mix of technical questions, as well as "functional" questions based on the leadership principles. Overall, the interviewers were professional but friendly.

Interview
Pretty lengthy process, scheduled multiple calls and made it to one of the final rounds, ultimately turned it down because there were multiple opportunities where the interviewers showed up late and I don't want to work for someone who doesn't respect my time.
