I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2014
Interview
A recruiter contacted me after seeing my profile on linkedin. After a screening phone interview with the recruiter they set-up a 75-minute technical phone interview with one of their SDEs. They set-up a collabnet session where you had to write code on-the-fly.
After a brief discussion about my work history, he asked 3 questions:
1. tell me what you know about binary search trees.
2. write method which takes a tree node and returns true/false if it is a bst.
3. write a method which takes an array of ints and an int value, and return all pairs of values from the array that add up to the value.
All 3 should have been easy questions, but I badly flubbed #2 and #3 :-) Dumb, because I had seen both of those questions posted here and on other sites.

Question 1
Nothing unexpected. If you read this site you will see that others have had the exact questions I got.
