I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2013
Interview
Contacted through LinkedIn by recruiter. Signed up for a Hiring Event in Toronto. 15 minute phone conversation with Amazon recruiter. Hiring event consisted of 5 interviews, one with HR recruiter to go over HR issues related to working at Amazon. The other 4 were all technical. Was a pleasant experience overall. Interviewers were professional and cordial. Each lasted 45 minutes (exactly). The questions were pretty much as expected. Was told I would be contacted within 3 days whether they were going to offer position - all were for HQ at Seattle. I thought I did "ok". Though I stumbled a bit on the first interview.
They let me know they were not ready to offer me anything. No feedback, but they told me they wouldn't give feedback from the start.
Overall a pleasant experience. Seriously. :-)
