I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2010
Interview
It is a phone interviews and it lasts very long. The questions are not that difficult but some may need to think a while. Luckily one interviewer was very nice to let me email him the code afterwards when I could not figure out a solution during the interview.
