I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Debugging followed by F-F interview on skype. Debugging was quite easy with 7 questions, need to solve the compilation errors. The phone screen was based on data structures and algorithms. Generally it is quite easy to go but for me it was a bit tricky and the expectation for reducing the complexity was a bit more. So, I was not able to cross the line.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2016
Interview
First stage is a 20 minute call with a recruiter talking about your background and experience, and what are your career goals. Second stage is an approx. 1 hour call with a software engineer asking technical questions. Following thus he emailed me a shirt coding test which I had one hour to complete.
