I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The interview was very difficult. It took me five hours straight, non stop. I didn't have the opportunity to eat. Managers were rude. Some would interrupt. Some were friendly. Basically it depends on your luck.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Herndon, VA) in Feb 2016
Interview
The pay range I was told is $70k-$120k. The recruiters/interviewers did not communicate. I was told I would hear from them 48 hours after taking an online assessment. The recruiter then took over a month to reach out to me, offering an interview for a role I did not apply for. I declined the interview offer.
