I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Beijing, Beijing)
Interview
Phone call with HR to get brief info on me and the position I was applying for. Asked me to explain my role, how long I've been working abroad, why I want to look for a new job, salary expectation, availability, etc.
Onsite interview was set up the following week.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2009
Interview
The application process was slow, and involved very little communication. I applied through a current employee and only recieved updates from him. HR was responsive once the interview time had been set. The hiring manager was engaging and fairly relaxed, very typical of how I understand the culture to be. Overall it was a positive experience.
