Interview
Amazon headhunter called, multiple phone screens, white-board coding interview (on executive level).
All was well, until the white-board coding test, which was easy, and I solved , per instructions.
Don't trust the "use any language or even pseudo-code" better be ready to compile at the end, and don't use any modern languages.

The process is very thorough and takes a significant investment in time. That being said, they were very proactive into finding the right team to apply for, and I was given 3 different options. The interview process was very enjoyable, if not trivial, but I got to respect the depth and knowledge of the people I would be working with, as well as the importance that Amazon puts in its culture and values.
