The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Jun 2009
Interview
5 1 hr phonecalls ( with as far as I remember about 7-8 people)
After last phone interview, which I felt I failed miserably, I told the agency that there was no way they'd hire me as I was awful for that call, they offered me the position. I think they were basically trying to find out what I didn't know rather than what I knew at that stage.
