I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Champaign, IL) in Feb 2014
Interview
The interviewer first ask you to introduce yourself, then dive into tech questions. The first interviewer asked about writing algorithms for testing whether a tree is Binary Search Tree or not. Then the second interviewer asked about how to calculate exponential.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
