I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2010
Interview
I have just completed my second phone interview and was told that HR will contact me for an in person interview. The first phone interview was with the hiring manager who asked me to walk through my resume. It was pretty standard although you were expected to know the website pretty thoroughly so you'd be screwed if you didn't do your homework. I didn't get a good feeling from the interview because it was pretty brief. I was quick to judge but it ended up fine. Perhaps the hiring manager was busy to get to another meeting or his personality was a bit quirky. Who knows. All I know is that he gave good feedback to the second interviewer. The second interviewer asked me the same questions as the first one so they must be coached. I did connect with this person better and she provided a lot more insight as to what the position entailed. So far I'd say, the process has been pretty standard and the follow up from HR has been timely. We'll see how the in person interview goes!

Interview
While the interview process felt like a nightmare for me since I don’t use data to quantify every piece of my life. All the people I interviewed with were very kind and I while I did not receive an offer they had the courtesy to deliver the news with a thoughtful phone call.
