Interviewed Mar 2012 in Luxembourg (Luxembourg) (took 4+ weeks)
First phone interview with a manager. Then offered to have 1:1 Interview with more managers and human resources. Strong behavioral questions throughout the interview process. They are looking for outstanding candidates that have a "think big" attitude, even if you do not excel technically in the position.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
There were two 45-minutes 1:1 interviews. First interview consisted of resume based questions and parking lot problem's class diagram with implementation of two specific functions. Second interviewer asked general questions in the beginning like why amazon, what was your most challenging project etc. After that he asked me some BST questions and then gave me one string-based algorithm question.
