The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Lab126 (Cupertino, CA) in Mar 2009
Interview
Went through many rounds. Average question difficulty for the industry. Beware of some pseudo-lead engineers judging you for not being able to answer one of their questions -- you must be an incompetent because of this, right? The fact is, working at Lab126 means you should be making no mistake. And how you deal with people pointing fingers on your mistake is very important and part of day to day culture.
