I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Audible (Newark, NJ) in Oct 2014
Interview
Phone call with HR, Phone interview and then on site interview in NJ. I have already submitted a previous review with more details and questions. I am submitting another review because I forgot to add that after 2 weeks of getting an offer, officially doing the paperwork and accepting the offer and speaking to my future manager about my team and my role, Audible withdrew the offer with the excuse that they are suddenly going on a hiring freeze. I had cancelled all but one on site interview I had with other potential employers.
The bad was the last minute seemingly baseless retraction of the offer which put me in a helpless state. The good was that the HR forwarded my resume and profile and interview feedback to other Amazon teams which got me in touch with more recruiters and teams.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Audible in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview process was really smooth. The interviewers were professional, kind, and prepared to pair program. Apart from the behavioral interview, which was all star format stories, each interviewer asked one question related to an Audible value. After giving my answer, we'd hop into the technical part.

It takes time and the entrance exam is really hard. You will need to know most all of leetcode and even then the questions they ask are framed in a way that involves Amazon products so it can be confusing
