I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Initially had a small preliminary interview at a job fair at UC San Diego. When I couldn't be scheduled into the on campus interviews they funneled me into the normal full time position interview process. I had two phone interviews and am waiting on a reply for either a third interview or to be flown up to Seattle.

First explain what a tree, then binary tree, then a binary search tree is. Now implement a function that verifies whether a binary tree is a valid binary search tree.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in May 2024
Interview
I applied through LinkedIn with reference. As usual, I received OA with middle LeetCode questions, which were pretty hard for me. After 4 month I was asked for Screening Interview, where recruiter explained me my interview path in 15 min. I scheduled my interview, but one day before I received an email about rescheduling and I was asked to give my schedule which I did. After one week I received another email, recruiter told me that the schedule doesn't work for them and I need to give another one (which is strange because I gave the whole week with business hours from 9 am till 6 pm). As soon as I sent my new schedule, I received the email that my position was filled already. This is the end of the story.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2021
Interview
Answered well in both telephonic and loop rounds. But felt the panel was in a rush to select a candidate. Rather than listening to the candidate they were taking down the notes. I am sure they must have missed few important points. Few of the interviewers in the panel are neither knowledgable nor interested. Not a good experience at all. Surprised to see such dumb candidates taking interviews in amazon !
Interview was phone screen. It was a technical round and interviewer focused on issue identification and investigation. Also asked question on queue and dequeue related functions. Also few java programs using collections, data structures and algorithms.
