I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2011
Interview
Three phone interviews before I accepted a position with another company. The interviews involved answering rapid fire technical questions regarding algorithms, data structures and test strategies. During this process, I had several interviews with another large company and was offered a position, which I accepted. Questions included when would someone use an abstract or virtual class, how would you test a web page where users would input payment information, questions around object oriented programming (polymorphism, inheritance etc). The position sounded very interesting and I have friends working at Amazon who love it there. However the phone screening process was a bit drawn out and the questions asked were textbook in nature and didn't hone in on my depth of experience.

Question 1
When would you use an interface, a abstract class, a virtual class.
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.
