I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego, CA) in Sep 2013

I applied online and a few days later, they provided me with a link to an online test. They are basic coding questions which most programmers should know how to solve. You have the option of coding in Java or C++. Make sure to learn and understand the library of the language well.
