I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2017
Interview
Applied online. Got emailed for the first phone screening with the recruiter about 3 weeks after applying but she actually contacted me for a position that was different than the one I applied for. After the initial phone interview, I had to complete an online assessment (mostly personality) and submit some written answers (short essay style). About 2 weeks later, a second phone interview was scheduled. After that I was invited for an in-person interview in Seattle which was scheduled about a month after my last phone interview. The in person interview lasted 3 hours. The next day after my in-person interview, I received an invite for a 2 hour follow up interview with 2 people.
