I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2014
Interview
Went quickly after submitting a resume. The phone interview was the toughest of those I've had, covered the broadest range of questions instead of one problem in detail. Shared document for part of that. It went well and an onsite interview was scheduled very quickly afterward. It was the one dog-friendly office I visited, which would've been nice :)

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I've applied for a position in Amazon Fulfillment. They contacted me in a week and we arranged a phone interview. They did three technical interviews in total. The engineers who did the interviews were very kind and professional. However, after the last interview, which went fine in my opinion, I just lost contact. No feedback, no "You did good", not even "Thank you, we are not interested in you right now". After a month, I sent an e-mail requesting a feedback. They said that they will contact me in a couple of days, but they didn't.
Overall, it was a waste of time.
