I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (San Bernardino, CA) in Jul 2013
Interview
The process is very structured. It is a POD setting with managers from all over the network participating. You may or may not be meeting with the people that you will eventually work with. You will be in a room with other candidates, who will be interviewing at the same time.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Cincinnati, OH) in Jul 2013
Interview
Very Tough. 5 hr pod. 4 different interviews, each 50 mins. Use the STAR method of interviewing. They drill down to get the details to verify the story

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to make a decision with little data. How did you handle it and what was the result?
Was called for telephonic interview first. The HR asked few metrics based question and team handling. Just wondering how the direct interview will be. I have been asked to walk in for a direct interview. Will keep you guys posted.
