I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2011
Interview
Asked some general questions like describe your most challenging project, Explain REST vs SOAP.
Gave some whiteboard questions like given two strings, write a function that returns the index of the first match of one string within the other.
And Given a set of x elements connected in a circular fashion, remove every nth element until the last one remains.
I solved both but the interviewer didn't like my first solution. Had to convince him to compile and run it to test before he accepted the next day it as correct. Guess we didn't mesh well.

Question 1
Given two strings, write a function that returns the index of the first match of one string within the other
It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.

Interview
The interview process consisted of an online assessment followed by two technical interview rounds and one behavioral round. The technical rounds focused on Data Structures, Algorithms, Java, and problem-solving skills. The behavioral round covered Amazon Leadership Principles and past project experiences. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.
