I'm apparently an outlier then. I've applied on three separate ocassions via their careers website, each time for multiple positions, without knowing anyone inside. Each time I was contacted for an interview, and the last two times I was contacted for more than one position I applied for. Never got far enough to get an offer though. Though the last round of phone interviews I went through, one of the engineers I was interviewing with actually commented that he'd never heard of anyone getting an interview via their website, only through a friend or a college recruiter.
