I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Was initially contacted by HR in Seattle about 2 openings. After the initial discussion with HR I was scheduled to be interviewed with the hiring manager for Enterprise Sales position and Business Development Manager. Interviews were scheduled over a 2 week period with each hiring manager.
The manager almost immediately dismissed me half-way through the interview because he did not think I was technical enough. I was then handed off to the hiring manager for the Business Development Manager position. After pushing the time back 30 minutes we finally spoke and had a great conversation. At the end he pointed out to me that I should not feel bad if this does not progress further. He said that he had to interview over 250 applicants to get the 9 BDM's on this team.

Very long, all though they prepare you before the interview process, the process is long and they provide CERO feedback.
After several processes with them, the process has many faults and deficiencies.
