I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Contacted via Linked In by a recruiter and a phone interview was set up. Was called by a developer on the team and used Collabedit to work out the programming questions. Questions were purely technical, nothing about your background or work experience. It's been awhile since I did this stuff in college, so worked through them the best I could. Interviewer was cool though and answered questions about the company. Going to study up and practice problem solving and try again.
