I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2010
Interview
This was for the IMDb team. First contact was an internal recruiter who asked mostly general questions like what are you doing now, what are you looking for, what is your experience etc. I was asked to complete a questionnaire over email about my experience, salary requirements, when I could start. I had two rounds of technical phone screens with developers. After the second, I was asked to complete a programming exercise and send the results back. I was invited in for an all day interview loop. Most of them went well, a couple were 50/50. One was noticeably tough, the guy was a socially awkward fellow who was very difficult to relate to. He made it very difficult to keep flowing, he was almost hostile. I have heard that one strong veto will kill you even if the others loved you.
