J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Ashburn, VA) en févr. 2009
Entretien
Initial "phone screening" was more like "Computer Science 101 review". Was asked questions about how I would determine the nearest X number of stars out of a database of all known stars. Since I had no formal computer science education and couldn't fully describe the "O" value of the algorithm I described, they seemed uninterested, despite the fact that I have almost 20 years of experience and am a very well-respected software engineer. I suspect only very recent college graduates make it through their phone screening process.
