Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Washington, DC) en nov 2011
Entrevista
I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn for a local Amazon interview event at my area. I sent my resume and was invited to the event, which was held in a hotel in the area. When I got there the interview day, I was told that there can be up to 4 interviews, which was the number of interviews I had. (I saw some people getting cut short after 3 interviews.) 3 of the 4 interviews were pretty much coding exercises, 1 one was a design question. They ranged from average to difficult, but not that different from what you'd expect from companies like Microsoft, Google, etc. Overall, it was an enjoyable and well organized experience.

Nothing out of the ordinary - some questions were harder than the others
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
