The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2011
Interview
Interview process was standard. Had 4, 1 on 1 on-site interviews. Thought I did fairly well but according to sources you have to ace their hardest question (they have a name for it but I don't remember it now). I stumbled on one of the harder questions but thought I did well overall.
Hard question: Given a game where you start with a word (for example, "TAGS"), find an algorithm that will give you the shortest number of intermediary words to get to a final word (for example, "LAYS"). So in the example above, a possible sequence would be, TAGS, SAGS, SASS, LASS, LAYS.
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.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
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.
