I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Milwaukee, WI) in Oct 2015
Interview
Flew to Midwest city, they covered all expenses and provided rental car. Interviewed next day and flew back same day. It was a good experience. When they interview you there are 2 people in the room and 1 is acting extremely nice and the other 1 is acting put off. They do this on purpose to see how you react to different people.
