I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Recruiter was extremely friendly and helpful. The Interview itself was mostly technical questions relating to security and technical experience (OWASP Top 10, Risk vs Vulnerability vs Threat, etc.) Almost felt like a verbal final exam so be prepared.
