J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en août 2010
Entretien
It took quite some time (say six weeks) to get a response after I had submitted my resume, and the email came from a recruiter. The phone interview was for a position unrelated to the one for which I had submitted my resume.
Setting up the phone interview took a couple of emails and a phone call, and the software engineer from the team called me precisely on time. He spent about 30 minutes asking me questions and I spent about 20 minutes asking him questions.
The most technical questions were akin to:
* if you had to keep a list of numeric values, how would you search it for all pairs of values which add to a fixed value?
* give a back-of-the-envelope OO (class-level) design for a dictionary system
A respectable amount of time was spent asking me about a technical solution I was proud of or a great technical challenge I had overcome.

Recruiter screen. Then 2 coding interviews then onsite rounds (another coding question, then a system design question, then HM behavioral interview). System design was simpler than other companies. Coding was leetcode ish
