Interviews are hard. If you get to the on-site level, be proud of yourself, not that many people get this far. "You done good, son!" Not everyone gets this same type of interview that I did. Some people skip the phone screens and on-site rounds and go straight to a group project on-site. Either way, don't get cocky, just make sure you study your material and get crackin on fundamental programming.

Question 1
All I can say about the on-site interview was that we were in the room for about 6 hours, with 6 rounds of interviews after the initial HR meeting.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2012
Interview
They contacted me on LinkedIn and we planned a first phone screen where the interviewer asked me about my past experiences.
After that, I had a technical interview where he asked me to solve problems over the phone and think aloud so that he can understand the way I think.
