I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Had two phone interview. Each one has Computer Science fundamental questions (basic Java and questions on locks etc.) and a coding question (Traversing a binary tree). After that was an onsite interview. Met about four interviewers. Coding questions mostly on trees, stacks, queues, etc. There were also general questions like how would you diagnose if someone reports that your website is slow. What would you need to change to launch a website like Amazon in a different country (e.g. Korea)?
