The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2009
Interview
I had 2 phone screens. The first one was difficult but went well overall. The interviewer was pleasant and willing to detail questions in a manner that would help him guage my technical depth.
The second interviewer was very vague with his questions and wasted over 30 mins of our time and still did not get what he wanted.
Overall it was an OK experience.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2009
Interview
Applied for position in the AM, was contacted by HR in the PM. Set up phone call to happen in two days.
Person I talked to was a former Technical Program Manager, but had no experience with the actual position/group I was applying for.
Conversation was mostly development focused --what technology would you use, how (technically) would you address this situation.
They told me the call would be one hour and it was one hour.
Easy to talk to HR and this person.
