I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in July 2010
Interview
I first had three phone interviews, consisting of "standard" technical questions that you can find elsewhere on this and other sites. About half of them were algorithmic questions, and the rest were design. For a couple of questions I had to write actual code, whether reading it to the interviewer or emailing them.
I then had an in-person interview that was six or seven engineers from my prospective team, which was mostly more of the same, just harder. All of my interviewers were very easy to talk to and get along with. I knew very few of the answers just off the top of my head, but I talked my solutions out with the interviewers, including my assumptions and ways to make the problem easier.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Figure out an automated way to do accessory recommendations for various products.
It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
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.

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
