I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in May 2012
Interview
Applied online. Got a technical phone interview the next week. Was flown onsite the week after for a 1:1 battery with 4 people. The questions were really fun and the interviewers try to make you feel comfortable.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2012
Interview
The first round was okay, I applied through my college job portal and was asked by mail to schedule a phone interview. All the questions asked were basic and I passed that round.
I was asked to schedule a second interview and when it was time for it I was prepared and all but did not get a call, I mailed them inquiring about the interview , they apologized and rescheduled it. This time I received a call. They asked about Java Generics and Dynamic mapping etc. Later programming question was about finding repeated alphabets in a sequence. They did not like my logic and approach to the program.
