Google and FB aren't like that. The benefit of the uniformly high hiring bar I guess. Don't know about Amazon.

Up to the team. I've "interviewed" for 4 internal transfers there, and I've had:

- Three 1hr interviews, coding/system design/behavioral

- Portfolio review

- Talk to senior engineers on the team for a couple hours

- None (I had people on the team vouch for me)

EDIT: This is about Amazon, in retail and AWS.
