I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2012
Interview
I had had two phone screen interviews before I went to Seattle for my onsite interview. The phone interviews were 45 minutes each and the onsite interview had 5 rounds, each about 50 minutes. It seemed that amazon was lack of software engineers because I had seen a lot of candidates. In onsite interview, I was staying in a conference room for one day except for a lunch interview. The interviewers came to the conference according to the schedule. It was a fantastic experience but I didn't not get an offer.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2012
Interview
Went straight to a full-on technical interview (set of 4). No behavioral or phone interview. Four interviews back to back with four different interviewers. Questions weren't that hard. Did terrible on the first one but thought I did well on the other 3.
