The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter after applying through Amazon's career site. The interviewer was very friendly. Began by explaining the unit in which he worked. He then asked me to describe my background a bit which he used to segue into asking me to describe a project I have worked on, how it was implemented and what I would do to improve the project if I were to re-do that project today. He included some questions about data structures and which would be best suited for the project I had discussed. After that, he asked me to write code to determine if two strings are an anagram. He wanted me to talk through the algorithm before I began coding on collabedit. Overall he was a very nice interviewer, seemed as though he wanted me to do well - was not trying to trick me at any point.
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.

The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
