I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at a2z Development Center (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2011
Interview
After recruiter did the initial screen, i had a phone interview from on the the Sr Mgrs in A2z. After the interview i was asked to fly in to SF for a face to face. Had 6 interviews HR, Site Director, Same Sr Mgr, Developer, Developer and Somebody did a remote interview from their Wear-house. I was interviewing for Amazon Cloud Player team and the interview was pretty easy. Except for the last one. Amazon has this process of somebody from a totally different organization being able to participate . For me it was the person from their Wearhouse who called in remote. The interview was a disaster as his cell phone had poor reception and we both could not hear each other well. But somehow we joked and apologized to each other.

I applied online. I interviewed at a2z Development Center (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
I had 6 individual 45 minute interviews, with very little break due to the recruitment team not being organised.
When I arrived there was no one to meet me or tell me where I should be, so everything ran late.

Brilliant group of folks. Two phone interviews followed by full-day one-on-one interviews with six people lasting half an hour each. Each interviewer focuses on a specific aspect he is responsible for evaluating. Questions range from behavioral to technical.
