I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2009
Interview
I was referred by a classmate who was a hiring manager. There was a phone screen consisting of two 45 minutes interviews. They asked me to write the code on a paper and the reaad it aloud.
