I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2013
Interview
Phone screen was easy. Flew to Seattle. The reception was not great or special. The now famous frugal feel of the place. The meeting room was small and suffocating. Most interviewers were senior. I found the interviewers less conversational. Some of them were antagonistic. We disagreed on some issues, but instead of adjusting their questions to clarify and spell out the reason for disagreement, they repeated the same comment over and over.
