I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview itself was 45 minutes long and over the phone with two interviewers. Only one did the talking and was quite nice. They first described what they did at Amazon then asked me about myself. I completed my interview questions in Java using CollabEdit. Overall the experience was a positive one.

How would you implement a class that takes a list of strings and allows you to lookup whether a certain string is in it or not.
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.

Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
