      I think someone here interviewed with Amazon in the past, but I do not recall clearly.

      I've no experience in that, so I cannot say.

                  I've heard these type of tech companies can have NDA and brutal interviews.

                  I interviewed with Amazon and there is no NDA. No self respecting company will use an NDA, because no one worth their salt with even entertain doing an interview with you under NDA. Amazon interview was fair, not harsh. Reasonable. Certainly no walk in the park, and long.

                      The only large Silicon Valley type firm that is well known for having an NDA is Google. Everything at Google is a secret, including quality of the job.

                        Really? That's odd. Was that for an interview stage or was it past that point and like after you were offered a position?

                            I had around 6 interviews total.

                                Mine was decent. Only two interviews. One phone, then they flew me out for a few days. They did one full day of interviews then paid for me to stay in Seattle to get to know the city and make moving decisions. The whole process was pretty smooth and well done. Nothing to knock your socks off, but better than Facebook, not as good as most Wall St. firms. But way better than an average Fortune 100 firm. Very professional. Took me out to lunch. Interview process was reasonable, not some silly "did you happen to memorize the right answers" kind of BS.
