I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2014
Interview
Went quickly after submitting a resume. The phone interview was the toughest of those I've had, covered the broadest range of questions instead of one problem in detail. Shared document for part of that. It went well and an onsite interview was scheduled very quickly afterward. It was the one dog-friendly office I visited, which would've been nice :)
