I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2008
Interview
Super long-winded, way too many people involved in the process, asked a lot of those stupid esoteric questions ("If I asked you to build an elevator...,") 1/2 of the 7 people who interviewed me were pretentious morons / other half cool, sort of a cult feel to the place. Really disliked it.

Question 1
At the end of the interview: "Would you like to work here?"
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, )
Interview
O processo é super fluído e rápido. Inicia-se com um phone screen para entendimento de adequação cultural e requisitos básicos da role. Após isso passa para um loop com 4 ou 5 entrevistadores onde no geral se pedem cases ligados ao principios da Amazon. Após essa fase já existe um comitê decidindo pela offer ou não.
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.

Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
