The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2012
Interview
3 phone interviews:
* first one was more an informative one to describe the exact job
* second one was a more "behavioural" one, with usual hr questions like " did you ever disagree with your boss ? what did you do ?", "did you ever disagree with a client ? what did you do ? why did it work?". That interview also contained a lot of questions based ona technology I had used for another projecs with questions like "what are the advantages of this technology? would you recommend it ?what were the consequences for your project..."
* third interview was postponed the day before the interview because the guy was sick (it seems that they only had one guy for interviews... no comment) well, anyway, his English was difficult to understand (clearly not his mother tongue...). The third interview was the technical one with questions about sql, xml, some basic Linux commands, tcp/ip...

Question 1
Let's imagine that you are doing some operations on tables, the server containing the database goes down, how would you do to perform the operation anyway ?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New Delhi) in Dec 2022
Interview
Good place to work they just start with the basic interview round and then they have 5 technical rounds and they are bit difficult. The first and second round are little bit easy but the other are hell tough.

Question 1
HoF and HoC, two numbers to find the fifth greatest
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Difficult with no feedback. Lots of technical questions and behavioral questions. Four rounds of interviews, final interview is group forum that lasts hours. Plus they ask for a writing sample before the final interview. If you're not selected they have an unrelated HR rep call to deliver the bad news, again, no feedback on the decision making process or recommendations.
I got sick on the week of my interview so I never took the test. I had contacted my recruiter earlier to see if I could postpone it but I never got a reply.
