I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Nov 2013
Interview
There were two phone screens and a six round in-person interview (6 one-hour interviews). It covered technical topics and behavioral based questions that focused on my past software development industry experience. I was given lunch mid way through and had the ability to take breaks for the bathroom or to get water whenever I needed.
