I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2012
Interview
My resume was found by recruiter from Seattle that applied on my behalf to Amazon.com. Initially everything went pretty smoothly. First interview was phone interview conducted by non-technical person who had a list of questions and wrote my answers. After that they send me coding assignment that I had to finish in 24 hours. This "skills test" consisted of 8 different assignments that required writing the actual code. Some assignments were small and easy and some pretty big and complicated. All in all it was pretty difficult to finish them in 24 hours especially for working person. After they reviewed code of assignments I have been invited to interview event in Toronto. They just "forgot" to mention that interview will take place at 25th floor and that was deal breaker for me. So as a result I didn't show up for in-person interview and got "no-offer".
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
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.
