I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2017
Interview
A recruiter contacted with me at LinkedIn first. Then we chatted on the phone for 15 minutes or so. Just ask some of your interests, your ability, your basic experience. Introduce some of the position. Then schedule the first technical interview by email. In the first technical interview, I was interviewed by a product manager. No coding questions. Just talk about the resume. Ask the details of my current job. Some behavior questions. After four days, I received the email that not moving forward..... although I think my qualification fits the role pretty well.
The interview process was smooth and conversational. The interviewer was calmly asking questions about my previous work experiences and listened patiently. He even gave me ample time to frame my answers.

2. Asked few SQL questions
few rounds of interviews ranging between technical and conversational. Mostly in the form of " tell a story of time where ..." to show how you relate to amazon LPs
The first interview is a technical phone interview that assesses your skills in SQL and Python, specifically data analysis with python. The interviewer pastes the description of an SQL problem on the code editor and asks you to write your answer while describing your thought process. They give you hints when you're stuck.
