First was an online test. In the online test, I am asked to debug for several code snippets. After the online test Amazon arranged a phone interview. In the phone interview, the interviewer asked about some data structure questions. Then just one coding question
Interview questions [1]

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Feb 2015
Interview
Got referral from an Amazon's employee. Firstly took an online assessment: seven debug questions which are super easy. Then got a phone interview lasting less than 1 hour. It is mainly technical. I was asked to code on CollabEdit. Interviewers provided some test cases and asked me to state how my code works.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Gainesville, FL) in Feb 2011
Interview
Four rounds on campus. All were technical. Cracking the coding interview or Programming interviews exposed suffices for preparation. Probably the easiest to crack when they come on campus. At Amazon there is no alternative to really working hard and getting a good team depends a lot on luck. I hated the weather though. It could be a great learning experience but extremely challenging at the same time.
