I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2010
Interview
I'm contacted by the recruiter directly after I put my resume on job searching websites such as monster and linkedin. The interview consists of two phone screens and 1 onsite. Phone screens mainly focus on large scale data processing questions and basic java and data structure. Onsite questions are comprehensive: your research, their project, white board coding, and algorithm. Some of the algorithm questions are challenging.
