I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Guadalajara, Jalisco) in Mar 2015
Interview
The recruiter called me and asked me some basic questions such as what sorting algorithm I would use for sorting an array, and what a binary tree is. After that they sent me a Hackerrank test, I had to describe my solution in terms of space and time complexity of several problems and solved them. Unfortunately they told me that I was not invited to the onsite interview in Mexico, the typical I am not good enough.
