I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Lab126 (Cupertino, CA) in Jan 2010
Interview
Very unprofessional. The interview questions were unclear for the candidate to provide a proper answer. Interviewers are generally green. They like to ask stupid questions like the resistor cube to prove that they are nerdy. I solved the problem but am not impressed at all with such ridiculousness..
Started by speaking with a recruiter. The first interview was about an hour long and was a discussion with the hiring manager to see if it would be a good fit. Then I did a second round of interviews which was a full day process where I interviewed with various members of the cross functional team for an hour each.
Interview questions [1]

At least 6 persons - each hiring manger given case study to ask the question to related to specific core values

You must fist going to relax and you must tell about your self It was great and it was very friendly, the location was quiet and the manger was very relax
