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.

Question 1
Is there a situation in your career with your colleagues that you would like to fix (if given the chance)? What is your greatest achievement? Some think big questions. How would you solve the Netflix challenge?
