I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2016
Interview
Initial call from an internal recruiter, then a technical phone screen and a behavioral interview. Was immediately told that I passed the interview and they would like to proceed to an in-person interview. Someone would call me to arrange travel.
Since no one called after 5 days, I followed up with an inquiry about scheduling an onsite interview. I was told that someone would be in touch shortly.
Then, a week later, I received a call that they had changed their minds, but there was no information available about why.
