Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 5 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Seattle, WA) en abr 2012
Entrevista
Submitted resume online. Initial email contact from a recruiter who asked for time blocks but never responded back to me. About a week later, another email contact from a second recruiter who asked the same questions (mainly for time blocks for phone screen).
1st phone screen from hiring manager. He asked general questions about resume, background, and used my answers to guide me to an opening he thought fit.
2nd phone interview with a dev manager in a different group than the opening. General questions about project management methodology (how do you build a schedule, how would you plan for scalability, etc) and a hypothetical question about how I would build a mobile shopping app for a specific Amazon category.
3rd interview with another dev manager in a another group (not the group with the opening nor the group the 2nd interviewer was in). He asked about my background and resume. Asked two "big" questions: First, a technical one about how to find a specific usage sequence in log files. He wanted a very specific, very technical answer. Other question was more open-ended: how would you improve a specific feature on Amazon.com.
I would rate 1st interview as easy, 2nd as average, 3rd as difficult.
Note that their process is very opaque: Contacts from different recruiters who don't talk to each other, weeks between communications from recruiter, different answers on what the next step is from different people.

Phone interview followed by in person day of interviews. Everyone was very friendly and range of technical, behavioral and product questions. Could tell who the bar raiser was who asked a design question around building an app.
