I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2016
Interview
I went to a college career fair, talked with a recruiter, and got scheduled for an interview the next day. I spoke with a senior design manager and a senior UX designer. They focused on the design process a lot. Unlike other interviews that I had where I got asked mostly on the UI design judgements, they asked a lot of questions on usability testing and user research. Moreover, they asked many questions about teamwork and leadership, which I later learned that it's what Amazon is all about... going over their leadership principles before an interview might help. Overall, it was a great interview experience.
