I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Mountain View, CA) in Sep 2014
Interview
There were 2 telephone interview and 1 onsite interview. The telephone interview went swiftly, mostly review about skills set and some technical questions. The onsite interview was 4 hours process, meeting 4 different people and lunch was provided. During the interview, the first two interviewers asked about job related technical questions, the third person is from HR and the last interviewer asked non related technical question to show off his superior.
The interview process was long, but I learned many things about Amazon. I was not hired for the position, but I know what to do better if I decide to try with them again.

Interview
Worst interview I received out of many companies I interviewed with. The interview questions had nothing to do with real world situations and were too random. Glad I ended up getting a job somewhere else. I feel sorry for anyone that works for this company.
