I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Hired in early days. Took three months as they were building out team. Never met hiring Mgr in person. Interview was average. Harder now. I was lucky to get in when I did.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2015
Interview
First two rounds are phone interviews. The first round was fine, but the interviewer in the second round had this act on, he was trying to play a ruthless, hard taskmaster.
