I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon Lab126 (Sunnyvale, CA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Quick hiring process ... recruiter got in touch with me soon after I submitted my resume. I had an interview within a week and two days later an offer. I had only two more days to decide on the offer. It was generous compared to my previous job but average for Bay Area.
