I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2012
Interview
Phone screen was technical and involved writing code on a collaborative website.
Onsite interview was five 1 hour interviews plus a lunch.
The interviews were very technical and a lot of time was spent coding on a white board.
None of the interviewers talk to each other between the interviewers so some of the questions were similar.
Phone screen question was how to find the second largest sum of any two pairs in an array of numbers
Onsite questions focused on writing an optimized loop to iterate over data looking for some common characteristic. Or the data was iterating through links, and determining when all link paths had been exhausted.
Dress was casual for the interview

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.
