Interview
I submitted my resume through the website about 2 months before they contacted me. They sent me back an email at the end of February regarding a phone interview. The phone interview was two calls back-to-back.
The first call was not really technical. The interviewer asked about projects and my background, and he was very nice. We did one coding exercise over CollabEdit. He was very interested in how I thought about the problem, so make sure to articulate what you're thinking about when you are given a problem and how you're thinking about solving it. The question was how to implement the division function without using the division operator.
The second call was a technical interview. The question was find the element in an array that appears an odd number of times. All elements are guaranteed to appear an even number of times, except one, which will appear an odd number of times. He asked a lot about the space and time complexity of the solutions that you provide, so make sure you understand those concepts and can apply them to your solution.
I did not receive an offer, but they replied back within a week.

Question 1
In an array in which elements appear multiple times, it is guaranteed that all elements except one will appear an even number of times. Find the element that appears an odd number of times.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2013
Interview
The entire process was very smooth. I applied online through the campus career center, and about a week later was contacted to schedule an interview. There were two back-to-back 45 minute interviews, both of which were highly technical in nature. I was asked several questions relating to data structures (hash tables, linked lists, queues, binary trees), algorithms, time complexity etc.

Interview
Submitted my resume online and received the interview a month later, and it's a telephone and online interview. I chose the available time slot from frames they provided, and was arranged an interview two days later. It comprises of two 45-minute interviews and 15 minutes break, and both interviews are technical questions, one is find the duplicate elements in two unsorted strings and the other is transform a string like"aaaabbbbddd" into "a4b4d3".

Question 1
Both of the questions are not difficult but I didn't figure out the latter, so you should write down the code instead of just the pseudo-code.
