I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Contacted through email by recruiter for recent college graduates. Called for onsite interview. There were approx 15 candidates called for that day all expenses paid trip to Seattle.
First one hour discussions, all interviewers mingled with us over lunch giving opportunity to ask various questions about their exp in amazon and work they do etc..
then 4 rounds of 1-1 inteview 45 min each with standard algorithm/problem questions. Interviewers were very nice and friendly and knew what they are looking for.
Overall, a very good experience.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
