I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The amazon recruiter was very kind and responsive.
The phone interview was scheduled after five-six days since the notification of job opportunity. It consisted of 2-5 minutes reciprocal introduction, followed by one technical question (see below) and the usual ending part with questions I asked them.
After few days I followed up to ask for feedback and shortly (same day) received the outcome.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A constellation is a group of connected stars. Given a set of stars in the sky. Assume that each star takes up a square region (think of it as pixel). Given a specific star, find the constellation it is part of.
I was contacted via recruiter on LinkedIn. Had a couple of technical phone interviews.
First was about 30-40 minutes, was asked resume related questions and a couple of usual algo questions with coding on paper and reading it out.
Second was longer, about 50-60 minutes, more focused on databases and querying.

Question 1
All questions were decent, not too simple but not overtly tough either. However, key is talking though the entire process even during phone interviews while working on a problem.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2012
Interview
Give them my résumé at school career fair, followed by a phone interview. They ask questions mainly on technical. Data structure and algorithms knowledge required to answer the questions. They also require you to write some code during the interview.

Question 1
All the questions are technical, nothing surprise. But their questions are not easy...
