I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I applied this role via campus resume book on Sep.2016. Received notification email a week earlier of the fixed interview day.
Two back-to-back 30 min interview.
Both interviewers are product manager, very kind, though one was a little hurry, keeping interrupting my words.
Got an rejection next day.

Strength and weakness
the most complicated project you face
you face a problem, and you find out the root cause is different from what you expect.
case: DVD cost is $50, price is $100, Amazon can sell 1000 units and buy 1000 units from manufactuer, now manufactuer provide a 30% discount if Amazon buy 4000 units. Should Amazon accept this suggestion?
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
