The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2010
Interview
Had 2 phone interviews, one of them had questions on algorithms and the other on Datastructures and coding.
Was called for 1:1 interviews at their Seattle dev center. The first one was about designing concepts and classes, and also UI for the Kindle. Free form discussion mostly.
Second interview was with the prospective manager. Somehow this was what went wrong. We just did not understand each other and the questions were on things like "How would you work with someone who is not doing any work and has no interest in doing the work assigned to him" etc. One technical question after that which I found answerable but got confused midway even though I had the idea right.
Last 3 interviews were all technical and the experience was very positive.
They did not make me an offer. I believe the one with the manager was the make or break one and I screwed it up bad.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
The interview process consisted of an online assessment followed by two technical interview rounds and one behavioral round. The technical rounds focused on Data Structures, Algorithms, Java, and problem-solving skills. The behavioral round covered Amazon Leadership Principles and past project experiences. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Tel Aviv)
Interview
Amazon's home assignment test involves receiving a coding or case study assignment, completing it independently within a specified deadline (usually a few days), and submitting it for team review. I got an answer after 2 days
Straightforward interview process with clear communication. The interviewers asked about my background, relevant experience, technical skills, and how I would handle common workplace situations. Overall, it felt professional and organized.
