The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2014
Interview
A recruiter reached out about a role, had informational with the hiring manager. For the specific role it wasn't the right fit because of location but moved on to another interview.
Mainly discussions with their technical team and then one of their newly hired product managers because one of the product manager couldn't make it last minute. After 3 phone discussions heard back more than a week later they were looking at other candidates. Mostly standard questions for phone interviews on pricing models and how to figure out new services.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2013
Interview
Submitted resume through internal system. Received email response within a week initiating process. Took online assessment, followed by two phone interviews. First interview was easy - just a resume walk and why amazon question. Second interview was more technical. Had difficulty understanding interviewer due to relatively strong accent, compounded by not so great phone connection. It never felt like we connected... I asked questions to clarify his questions, but it felt like we were talking in circles. I'm confident it would have gone differently if we were face-to-face. Nevertheless, everyone was very nice.
