I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2011
Interview
First got interest by applying in person during a career fair and handing one of their employees a resume and talking to them briefly. I was given a pre-screen question, sometimes it's hit or miss, but they're generally quick questions you can reason out quickly if you've been prepping for interviews in general. They usually ask for a bit of code on paper or a algorithm/data structures question verbally when you hand them your resume, then a 1:1 interview or phone screen. Didn't get further than that. Afterwards, if you pass the first round, it's final round interviews on their campus.

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.
