I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Aug 2012
Interview
It all starts by phone screening, which includes 2 rounds of phone interviews 2nd one subjected to clearing the first one. After clearing phone screen, they call you for the onsite interview where in total 5 rounds of face to face interviews happen.
Phone screen : 3 programming questions, one listing of test cases, explaining a process.
programming questions
1) Given a number, find out how many times each digit is repeated in it.
2) Given a number, sum its digits till the sum becomes a single digit.
eg. 12345-15-6
Optimize it to O(n) complexity.
3) Given two roman numbers, sum them and print the sum in roman.
eg. X+IV=XIV
test case
1) list test cases for phone alarm system.
process
1) explain the steps that happen after a url is entered on the address bar of a browser and enter is pressed.
like wise in the face to face interview the algorithmic questions difficulty level increases and even for the test cases and test automation framework.

Question 1
Given that you are working for amazon, you want to know the response time of amazon web page for each customer or user who opens it. By response time i mean the moment the user enters the website url and presses enter and till the web page opens, time interval between pressing enter and received web page. How will you calculate the time interval for each user or customer ?
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in May 2024
Interview
I applied through LinkedIn with reference. As usual, I received OA with middle LeetCode questions, which were pretty hard for me. After 4 month I was asked for Screening Interview, where recruiter explained me my interview path in 15 min. I scheduled my interview, but one day before I received an email about rescheduling and I was asked to give my schedule which I did. After one week I received another email, recruiter told me that the schedule doesn't work for them and I need to give another one (which is strange because I gave the whole week with business hours from 9 am till 6 pm). As soon as I sent my new schedule, I received the email that my position was filled already. This is the end of the story.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2021
Interview
Answered well in both telephonic and loop rounds. But felt the panel was in a rush to select a candidate. Rather than listening to the candidate they were taking down the notes. I am sure they must have missed few important points. Few of the interviewers in the panel are neither knowledgable nor interested. Not a good experience at all. Surprised to see such dumb candidates taking interviews in amazon !
Interview was phone screen. It was a technical round and interviewer focused on issue identification and investigation. Also asked question on queue and dequeue related functions. Also few java programs using collections, data structures and algorithms.
