I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Lexington, KY) in Aug 2012
Interview
Interview process starts off with a phone screen. During this interview you are asked some basic behavioral questions to see how you fit the Amazon culture. During the in person interview you will have between 4-5 interviews at what is called a POD. A POD is a time where they have 5-20 applicants all come together for interviews all at the same location. During this time you will have 3 interviews that have behavioral based questions, 1 interview that is discussing a math flow problem, the other interview is considered a "bar raiser." The bar raiser interview looks to see how you meet the Amazon culture.
