I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2010
Interview
I applied online (cover letter + resume) and had a first round interview with a current Amazon software engineer. He was really nice, laid back, and didn't pressure me. He tested me on basic object oriented principles and algorithms without judging my answers. I appreciate the respect with which I was treated even though I wasn't given an offer.
