Amazon (rightfully so) has a rigorous interview and hiring process. What's a bit unfortunate is that the interview itself is really only as good as the participants, and Amazon's formula of HR, Hiring Manager, Analytical Thinker, Peer and Complete Stranger to See How You Handle Ambiguity seems like its just interviewing for the sake of interviewing, rather than actually getting anything out of it (on either side). Additionally - these folks are so disorganized it makes it seem like a miracle that anything got done at all. My friends and family that work there say Amazon is a) great b) okay but they pay good (that's the range of their comments pretty much). But honestly I don't think I'd waste another entire day of my life interviewing with them. They couldn't even really answer *my* questions, and remember - interviewing is a 2-way street.
