I got an email from HR about 10 days after applying online. The HR was nice and scheduled a phone interview with one of their procurement managers. The HR listed a bunch of things I need to prepare (leadership principles); however, the phone interview was rather brief and shorter than I expected. The manager asked some basic questions and wrapped up the interview in 15 mins.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2011
Interview
Had a great experience with the process. My hr recruiter was prompt, organized, and pleasant. The hiring manager was friendly and level set expectations. Two phone interviews were completed within a week. Heard back that I was flying to Seattle days after second interview. Interviewers were professional but relaxed. No one wears a suit, not even candidates. Had 5 interviews in one day while in Seattle. Hr person told me I would hear back in a week and I did.
