I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2013
Interview
I received an email to schedule an interview. The recruiter gave me about eight dates to choose from and asked to choose the top five most convenient. After I emailed her, most of the times she gave me passed before I even got a response from her. Finally when I got a response I had three days until the interview. One I got the interview both people I talked with (there were two 45 minute phone interviews) had very thick accents. One was heavily Indian and the other Asian. I had a hard time understanding them over the phone and I had to ask to repeat the question multiple times. The technology did not work on the second interview and over fifteen minutes of time was wasted trying to get it to work. My advice try to get an interview face to face, over the phone just did not work for me. They only has a couple questions each and if you have taken data structures you should be fine.
