I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Pretty straight forward. First round interview was with the HR team. They did a good job of selling the opportunity by telling me that the team was really excited to speak with me. However, HR didn't have any information around salary for the position. Second interview was an in depth technical interview where I was asked to describe a web application. Found out that they rate all people that they interview. The score has to be higher than 75% of the people who currently work at Amazon. So they're basically trying to bring in smarter and smarter people. Also found out that the third round interview would be on-site and require a presentation.
