I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2011
Interview
The company held a first round of phone interviews at our MBA program and then invited candidates to their Seattle campus for the second round.
The first round included two half hour phone calls back to back. The second round consisted of 4 back to back one on one interviews, each lasting 45 minutes.
The people were all pretty friendly.

Following up on the previous question, if you had 3 days to present the above information to Jeff Bezos and had two resources working for you, how would you structure the work and ensure that you would have the requisite information before the deadline?
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
