I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Aug 2016
Interview
I got an email from Amazon HR inviting me for the Interview scheduled on 06th of August 2016 in Bangalore.
Interview consisted of 5 rounds.
1. Test cases writing
2. Scripting & Test data generation ( Any programming or Scripting language)
3. Problem Solving & Debugging
4. Hiring Manager
5. Managerial Round
In the Test case Writing round, the question paper had 4 questions related to Test scripting, debugging and coding.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
A desktop application accepts input file as PDF and generates a HTML file as output. Write Test case for this application. Test coverage is more important than the number of test cases.
Write a code to detect the first number having duplicate in below mentioned Array.
Array = [4 1 2 5 8 1 3]
Output would be 1.
Note : You can use any coding or scripting language.
Write a code to for an input arithmetic equation to detect the braces and return the output in Binary i.e. for each opened braces there would be one closed braces.
2+((3-1)/8 ----- Output = False
2+((3-1)/8) -------- Output = True
Don't remember the exact wordings of the question.

Interview
I applied through college, the first online round consisted of 20 tech questions and 2 programming questions. The questions were basic and round 2 was a technical round where we were asked to write pseudocode for two data structure oriented questions. They checked one's problem solving skills more than anything else and quizzed about the program's time complexity.
After a long wait the technical interview took place. The interviewer was very friendly and it was more of a conversation and again I was asked to write code for questions designed to test one's problem solving skills. The same programs were then asked to be made recursive. Questions on testing products were asked .Overall a good experience,

They actually came for internship and the process seems to be very easy. 1st round took place in hackerearth with 2 programming questions and some mcqs. Second round is also programming with 3 questions. Third round is totally debugging and have to write test cases.
