I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Portland, OR) in Jan 2017
Interview
A normal recruiter phone screen, followed up by an hour long tech screen interview done with phone and web browser. The tech phone screen went downhill fast. 1) The interviewer wasn't comfortable with the language I was writing in which was listed as being the desired language for the position 2) The interviewer decided to test me on triangles. Things I literally haven't thought much about since high school. I was not asked any domain specific questions and was penalized for not remembering the overlapping properties of acute, obtuse, equilateral, and isosceles triangles by way of a five minute lecture by someone who was clearly anxious to get their next cup of coffee. The arrogance was thicker than my skin but I didn't let it get to me until after the phone call.

Interview
Long and tedious. It was done in a the step process. Overall it was a positive experience. After some issues with the first interview and technical difficulties it went smoother in the second one.
