I was contacted by a recruiting manager at Amazon who set up the phone interview time and told me who I would be speaking with.
I spoke with the head developer in the group I was applying for. He was very easy to talk to and positive.
As this was a technical position there were questions about how to write SQL code. He wanted the exact code to write down, not just an general explanation of what you would do in the proposed situation. He let me take my time and was very encouraging, which was nice. It was a very pleasant phone interview.
