I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2014
Interview
I got a call from them asking me to atted their interview at seattle. No pre screening phone interview. Went to their office around 8 am and had a look around the campus. There are a group of 25 other people along with me. All are divided into a group of 3 and given a project to work on. It is very difficult (atleast for me). There are two interviews both focusing on the project itself. They never looked at my resume.
