I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2010
Interview
I was referred by an employee for a couple of positions at Amazon. I had a telephonic interview within a week. It last for an hour ( a few minutes longer). It was a combination of experience and small case/scenario type questions. It was a fairly challenging interview. The interview was professional and to the point. However, I was disappointed by the fact that neither the HR nor the hiring manager followed up with me after the interview updating me of the status. After following up from my side, I was asked for another telephonic round interview. It was basically similar in nature. However, no follow-up afterward. I was disappointed by the unprofessional behavior Amazon showcase by not contacting me or replying to my email/call to HR. I was never told the status of my second round interview. And I had to assume they selected someone else.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2010
Interview
First contact was from an HR person asking for a phone interview. First phone interview led to a follow-up, which led to being brought out to Seatte for an all-day session. The focus was primarily on decisions I've made that were data-based. Also had *lots* of scenarios where they asked how you would approach the problem. Wanted to see problem solving skills, no correct answer. *Extremely* intense, and not realy anything you could prepare for with traditional interviewing methods.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2010
Interview
For some reason there was no initial interview with HR, where they check your salary range to make sure it's in alignment with the job. It went straight from applying online to being scheduled for a phone interview with the hiring manager. The interview lasted one hour and I was told that if I made it past the interview, I'd be invited for an onsite all day interview. A few days later I got an email saying they passed on me.
