I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2016
Interview
First round was a logic test, work simulation, and coding challenge. None of the questions were actually hard, and I didn't feel burnt out by the end, but the online proctors make you pan over the room you're sitting in and take control of your screen to disable screen shots (they forgot to re-enable it when I was done). I was working out details of the coding challenge by hand and the proctor called me out for not staring at the screen the whole time - very uncomfortable. Didn't make me want to work there.

Question 1
Figure out the pattern in this sequence of letters and determine the one that follows the same pattern (logic test).
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
