I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2011
Interview
Posted resume on a "paid membership" jobs site. I have approx 5 yrs of experience.
Got call from amazon recruiter. Said it was for Amazon wireless. Scheduled phone interview.
I didn't understand why they liked my resume. I was not a Java programmer, but i had a computer science degree. Was totally clueless about what to prepare.
Glassdoor.com helped a LOT! 90% of they questions matched what I saw on glassdoor.
My first phone interview was more OOP questions so I think i did well as I use them daily and was in touch with the topic. The second was more Data structures, I did not do well, as I did not have enough time to prepare in depth.
Be prepared for CS basics like difference between low level and high level languages, hash tables, binary search
