I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2009
Interview
I was referred by a classmate who was a hiring manager. There was a phone screen consisting of two 45 minutes interviews. They asked me to write the code on a paper and the reaad it aloud. For on-site interview, I had about 6 interviews. Pretty typical coding on a whiteboard routine. All kinds of questions. They were very aggressive with offering a high salary. Also, very aggressive with having me to sign the offer fter the interview.
