I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2014
Interview
Applied mid-Jan. Got an email invitation for a phone interview one week from applying. Standard two back-to-back interviews, 45 minutes each.
Both interviews started out with basic data structures question and moved on to coding for the last 20 minutes. Questions ranged from Queues vs Stacks, Time complexities to perform all sorts of operations on Graph structures to what data structure to use given a particular situation.
Coding problems were easy (Merge two linked lists) but I screwed up the syntax a bit.
