The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2007
Interview
2 detailed phone screens (mostly data structures, access times, and language minutia of Java and C++), a flight/hotel in Seattle, 8 technical interviews mostly whiteboard coding/problem solving, a half hour lunch interview talking processes with the manager, and 1 hour HR interview. Interview questions ranged from permutation strings, to tree traversal, to block diagramming an elevator design problem. Concluded with a "we will call you", a cab that is.

They asked me to walk through my previous experience and explain how it related to the responsibilities of the role.
Applied online via the company careers page. Received a reply from HR within a few weeks inviting me to an initial
screening call over Teams. Process also included an online coding assessment sent as a pre-interview step.
Communication from HR was professional, prompt, and friendly throughout the scheduling stage.
