Interview
Overall, it was an excellent interview process! I had applied through my school's career pages and received an invitation with initial assessment. After the assessment, we had a brief behavioral + math flow question. It's the same math flow found here. Make sure you understand the problem! Not just memorize the solution. You need to be articulate in your response, and show your analytical mindset. After few weeks, I got an email for on-site interview. We had another math flow problem, which is given to you before your interview (same question, different numbers). Take this as your opportunity to practice! For the on-site interview, they will ask you the same math flow problem, but they will add in a twist. This is why it's important to understand the problem, not just memorize it. Be sure to jot down your calculations in an organized manner, and explain your thought process.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2011
Interview
The interview process was extremely painless. I had a phone interview with a manager - he was very helpful and it was more of a 1:1 conversation on how to improve warehouse operations. He was also very ready to answer any questions I had. Then I was invited to Seattle and interviewed with 5 other leaders. The interviews were hard, but the interviewers were extremely friendly and helpful .They asked questions related to the leadership principles and answered any questions I had. I got the offer within a day of the interview.
