I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Communication and planning was smooth, and I was scheduled for four one-hour interviews.
Each inwerview was a one-on-one with a software developer. There were a few personal questions, then technical questions on different topics (algorithms, OO design, testing). At the end of each interveiw there was a chance to ask them questions about working at Amazon. The whole process was very informal and pleasant.
After the inwerviews i quickly received an answer, but after that the process was somewhat slow.

One is telephone interview with screen sharing for a technical question. Another one is an on line recorded interview with a general question asking me to describe a situation that I persuade a co-worker to make a change, then a programming question and some questions about software development knowledge.
