I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services
Interview
They contacted me online, and before any call or contact with a recruiter they sent me an online test with 2 problems, one of them was reasonable and completed very quickly, the other had a bunch of performance tests that would only pass if you code your solution with mathematical solutions in mind. Not the best cut for the people they want in a team in my opinion.
