I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2012
Interview
The process included two phone interviews, a written question and a day long in person interview. Definitely review and understand Amazon's Leadership Principles. Interviewers were talented and friendly. Many questions were of the style: "Tell me of a time where you had to ...". Make sure you ask as many clarifying questions as possible.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Sep 2012
Interview
Very slow. Totally unprofessional. The HR called me and scheduled for a phone interview. Just before the start of the interview, she rescheduled the interview. The same thing repeated thrice. Then, I didn't get any call from the HR for 3 weeks. Finally I ended up attending 2 phone interviews over a period of 7 weeks.

4. Singleton patten. Issue with concurrent access. Over vs under locking.
Went through the phone screen. It is more of a technical manager position than a leadership role. Although I was told I'm interviewing with the "hiring manager" she sounded more like an engineer. The session was more like a Q&A than an exchange on the role or my experience.
