The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2009
Interview
I only went through 2 of the 3 phone interviews. You really need to know your Big-O notation. Understand how a HashMap works. You'l have to write code down on paper and read it back to them over the phone. I had a few easy questions on threading, a question on how I would architect a web application for a car rental company (what would the app do? which objects would we have? I think he wanted to see if I knew what a DAO was, or maybe if I understood MVC).

The interview process consisted of an online assessment followed by two technical interview rounds and one behavioral round. The technical rounds focused on Data Structures, Algorithms, Java, and problem-solving skills. The behavioral round covered Amazon Leadership Principles and past project experiences. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.
