I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Eugene, OR) in Mar 2014
Interview
Two 45 minuet phone screenings back to back with different engineers. The first interviewer was a bit sharp, and straight to the point. After saying hello he just asked if I was ready and sent me a link to a collabedit so that I could code. He had a thick accent, and was somewhat hard to understand, really seemed like he didn't want to be there. Second interviewer was much more pleasant, asked a few questions regarding discrete mathematics before going into a coding problem on collabedit as well. Once finished he asked for an explanation of the time complexity and if I had any questions.
