I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Oct 2014
Interview
Coding and logical ability test-
70 min 2 coding problems
35 min 30 logical (Quant) questions
two different sections one after the other.
you will be allowed to take a break time in between these two sections.
logical ability test will be collection of permutations,probability,sequences and series.
It is all about time management because we have to answer each question in a minute.
Coding is of only two easy questions should be answered in 70minutes in any programming language.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Contacted via email by a recruiter for a group interview about a month ahead of time. No screening or anything, just flew me out there for the interview. Overall the process was really good, I enjoyed the group interview much more so than a normal tech interview. Allowed you to show your actual dev skills and solve an interesting problem.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was a group interview so it is essentially how they outline it in the email they send you.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2015
Interview
Applied online, was reached out to by a recruiter a couple of months later. Took an online test for basic coding two weeks after initial contact, passed that and moved on to technical interview. Had the technical interview about a month later. Got the no offer email a couple of days after that. Didn't answer anything incorrectly, some minor mistakes and generally didn't think I came across as confident in myself. Interviewer was a bit terse, which didn't help.

Question 1
Write a function to check whether a binary tree was a binary search tree. My first function only handled trees with integer values and he asked me to run through the function with a tree of double/float values. I should have asked clarifying questions before I started coding.
Design a library (write out all of the classes, etc...), this was an OO question. Missed a few abstractions, basic structure was alright though.
