I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2013
Interview
The first step of the interview is to write code on a website called interviewstreet. There are 3 coding problems on data structures and algorithms. The first one is to check whether a list has loop or not. The second step would be on site interview. However, I failed in the online assessment.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
