I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2016
Interview
Got a call from HR, scheduled for telephonic interview, a lady called me, introduced herself and asked me to tell about myself on which she was not interested. Then asked the below question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
implement the interface:
interface SortedList<T>{
/*Get an item from list at index position
*params index - index position in array
*returns item - if item is found at index position
*throws IndexOutOfBoundException - if input index is not within list
T get(int index);
}
Check if an item exists in sortedList.
Eg. 1,2,3,4,5,6 ...
Initial screening call with recruiter followed by a 1 hr hacker rank question on DSA. The final round was a panel consisting of 4 interviews ranging from technical design, more DSA and behaviour questions.

Recruiter Phone Screen: A 30-60 minute interview to discuss your background, interest in the role, and initial behavioral questions.
Technical Phone Screen (For Tech Roles): A 60-minute interview focused on data structures, algorithms, and coding in a shared editor.
Interview Loop (Virtual/Onsite): The final stage, usually 3-5, 45-60 minute interviews held on the same day or over a few days.
