Interview
Some basic information was requested to be filled out online. Then a series of in person interviews took place on the day of the interview from a varied set of peers both in the same discipline as the position as well as those outside the field. Most were situational white-board code questions regarding solving various problems that seemed mostly germane to the job.

A recruiter from Amazon contacted me after seeing my resume on Monster.com, and scheduled a phone interview after a week. It was technical interview, first asked about some resume projects, then asked algorithms questions. Later that day the recruiter sent email saying that they are going for other candidates. Overall a pleasant experience.
