I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2010
Interview
4 interviewers at stations, with one "bar-raiser" to ask the difficult questions. Although I thought all interviewers had a similar level of difficulty. Most of the questions were analyical--Amazon is not interested in soft questions about your life, and is not interested in the way you dress for the interview either. The analysis was very scenario-oriented: say Amazon is facing a finance decision; what steps would it take?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What sorts of costs does Amazon face as an online seller of goods?
