I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Selected by recruiter for hiring event. Interview started with a writing assessment portion and to three rounds of one-to-one. Interviewers selected pre-written questions that related to previous experience and asked for specific examples. However interviewers were more interested in getting answers into their laptops than actually getting to know candidates. Really felt that the company is looking for the "right answer" more so than personality. It's no wonder why other reviewers thought they were expendable to the company.
