The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2011
Interview
The interview process consisted of two phone interviews and an all day in house interview. For the in house interview, I stayed in a conference room and the interviewers took turns one or two at a time ranging from 45 minutes to 1 hour each. The questions were mostly situational interview questions and several questions specifically about the company. Many of the interviewers asked me the same questions as the previous ones. I would rate the phone interviews as average difficultly and the in house as very difficult, mostly due to the length of the interview (about 7 hours).
