I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Submitted my resume for an internship position sometimes in March, then got a phone call to set up interview for full-time position in Sep (kind of surprised). I got 3 phone interview (didn't perform very well on the first one, but 2nd and 3rd are pretty good). The interview includes simple programming questions and OOP concepts. But then the recruiter emailed me saying that they are going to moving on with other candidates.
