I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I had 3 technical phone interviews. The first of which was really easy. Basic simple coding questions just to see if you were familiar with Java. The next 2 were really hard. I personally think Amazon has one of the hardest Interview Processes. It is really hard to hear the interviewers. I swear they have some of the worse phones at Amazon. I spent half of my phone interview trying to figure out what the interviewer was trying to say to me. His thick chinese accent did not really help either...
