I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Applied online for open position. Received phone call approximately two weeks later to setup a phone interview. Phone interview with hiring machine occurred about a week later. The phone interview included "writing" small function and system design questions. A week after that I was contacted for a on-site interview, which was scheduled 3 weeks out. Onsite interview consisted 6 45-minute interviews, which included writing small programs and design questions. The interviewers appeared to take detail notes of all my answers. Received an offer two weeks after the interview.

Question 1
Write a function to transform one word to another word, changing one letter at a time, using only valid words (e.g., cat -> dog: cat, hat, hag, hog, dog).
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
