I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in July 2012
Interview
About five rounds: - HR phone screen followed by
Written round - Basic programming, shell scripting, debugging/troubleshooting questions.
Programming round - Fairly straight forward programming questions if you are a bit savvy. I have never seem dynamic programming/greedy strategies asked for this role.
Scripting and troubleshooting round - Ability to write shell scripts and knowledge of systems are tested here. Will mostly be Unix specific
Hiring manager round - Culture fit, basic aptitude, demeanor etc
Bar raiser round - All rounder round. Checks if this candidate is better than 50% of the current employees in this role.
