I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2007
Interview
Submitted resume online, and waited several weeks before the human resource contacted me. Then, asked some typical behavioral questions and why you want to switch job, etc. Then conducted a phone interview by a software engineer. The questions are about algorithm, and it is not so difficult, but needs to address lots of details.
