I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2014
Interview
A codility online coding test, one phone interview with an engineer and a full day of five interviews with various people from the office. I was also taken to lunch with an engineer not in the interview loop. The difficulty varied from interview to interview but in all cases, the interviewers were professional and courteous.
Talked to them at a campus event and sent in an application online. After about a month got invited to an on site interview. Unfortunately, got the rejection about a week later.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Got contacted by a recruiter. They flew me out the next week to do a group interview where I coded on a three piece project. Each individual in the team works on a portion of the project, but you work as a team to develop the entire concept of the program. Total of 7 hours with about 5 hours of interviewing. Meanwhile a group of 4 amazon employees are watching you and eventually you get a one-on-one interview to discuss the current implementation of your code.
