I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2011
Interview
Not much to say. Applied through college career board, then got a 1:1 interview scheduled on campus. If I had cleared this interview, there were 4-5 more scheduled during following days. But I didn't make it.
The interviewer did not look interested at all. Gave me a weird problem to solve, didn't provide much help and worked on his laptop while I was solving it. The problem related to distinguishing company employees from outside visitors when someone hits a website. Eventually it boiled down to IPs, strings, hash tables, etc.
