I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Was approached by several different recruiters for a couple of Tech PM positions. Phone interviews went fine then amazon went dark for several weeks before giving any feedback. What struck me was that the interviewer literally stood me up on our initial phone screen then several days later rescheduled the interview to be when he was driving home from work. I felt like an after thought and though I did well on the interview, it doesn't surprise me that things did not go further.
