I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2015
Interview
Initially the recruitment manager emailed to set up a time. I replied with my availability. Then she suggested a time for the phone interview. I confirmed the time, and she sent out an email with the person I'll be interviewing and time.
I was also asked to login to an online whiteboard tool so I can write code.
