I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
Hiring manager contacted me via email after she found my resume posted on their website. After exchanging many emails, she directed me to another hiring manager who worked with me to schedule the telephone interviews. Finished first round of phone interview. Have another scheduled for next week.
The interviewer was very nice, she went over my resume and asked questions on my previous projects and current projects. Asked me choose one of my favorite projects from past and asked questions based on the technologies and the working experience on that.
After that asked algorithmic questions.

Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
