I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2009
Interview
Conducted an initial phone screen with a recruiter who found my resume and contacted me. At first I was not interested, but then did a follow-up with the recruiter to discuss taking the application process further. What followed were a couple of additional phone screens with HR and then an upper level manager. That was followed by a face-to-face interview on site - they paid for my travel. The on-site interview consisted of a word problem (they call it a math problem), a questionnaire of scenarios (completed prior to the interview), a tour and a panel interview. While the interview appeared to go well I grew concerned that the facility was actually overstaffed in terms of managers and that I was overqualified for the position. The interview was concluded with a promise of an answer in 7 days. As promised, on day 7 I got the thanks but no thanks email. Of course, no information about why I wasn't selected, just that they were going with another candidate.
