I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Middletown, DE) in Jun 2012
Interview
Initial recruiter contacted me via our college alumni network. Set up an initial phone interview, then met in person with a general mgr at a hiring conference. Following that I flew to indianapolis for a large hiring event. Met with 4 people, about 30 mins each. 1 HR person and 3 manager type personnel. 1 interview was a simple case based interview, the other 3 were situation/behavioral - very straight forward.
Received an offer the next week (2 or 3 business days later)
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2012
Interview
I flew up to Indianapolis to interview for a position with Amazon. This was after 3-4 phone interviews. The day consisted of 4 separate interview with members of management from different locations. I have no issue with that, but the individual that I interviewed with, I wish it would have been different. One of the interviewers treated me as if they were a detective, and asked counter questions in regards to my experience, as if they were trying to find holes in my knowledge. Another, was actually "dozing off" during the interview process. I guess they needed a nap.
