Phone Interview with a technical manager over the phone. Some questions about experiences and writing a tree algorithm on a virtual white board. The manager was very friendly and helpful.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2014
Interview
Hiring process was very organized. Recruiter arranged all the schedule and was very flexible. Process started at 9am and ended at about 4pm. There were about 5 rounds in one day. First one was based on my resume, second on javascript, third on problem solving question, fourth on OOPs concept, fifth on HR type questions.

Interview
Interviewer was not very friendly, sounded like he wasn't interested in interviewing, and was fishing for cookie cutter answers to cookie cutter questions. One question involved a non-standard data structure that the interviewer refused to define for me but wanted to ask questions about. I was going off of general programming experience and college CS, but it seems like that isn't enough and you need to read all of those "100 CS interview secrets!" books cover to cover so you have the same question bank as them. If accepted, I wouldn't have joined, because the interview was indicative of a workplace where requirements are not properly defined and you're just supposed to dream up what is expected of you among uncooperative peers. I ended up interviewing for and accepting a level 3 position at a company of equal reputation a month after this.
