I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2016
Interview
The interview process seemed hectic and unorganized. When I got there, I waited in the lobby for 40 minutes until the first person came to interview me. After this, I was informed that the hiring manager did not even know the name of one of the employees that interviewed me. I had 2 phone interviews and then on-site interviews that lasted from 12-5.
