I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2015
Interview
Applied through campus recruiting. Had two interviews both behavioral with questions on leadership principles, though you will not be told which particular leadership principle you are being tested on. It helps to know all 14 of them. One of the interviewers seemed tired or disinterested. Visited the Seattle campus and didn't think I would fit into the culture. The people did not seem very friendly. I doubt if I would have accepted an offer.
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
