I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2011
Interview
I was contacted for a SDE position for a web-based product after a recruiter found my resume on the Web. I indicated to the recruiter that I did not have professional web development experience; she said it didn't matter. In later technical interviews it kinda did matter when I was asked to brainstorm a design for some web app and I just feel time was wasted on both sides.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2011
Interview
Applied online around october. Got an email from HR department in Dec. 2010, to schedule two phone 45' interviews. Both were supposed to be on the same day; got the first one, but the second didn't happen. It was re-scheduled for a week later.
Both interviewers were nice and gentle; they were software developers at Amazon.
