I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Jul 2012
Interview
First a group interview with the HR. Then back to back two aptitude test and two more rounds with the managers. If you are lucky, the entire process will be done in a day else it will take 3 weeks to complete the process and then you will receive the call the same day after completion regarding moving forward with the formalities if selected.
It was one of the coolest interview process, even hr were so supportive and friendly, they first introduced ttheir self and then asked us to introduce urself, it was a kind gestureable way of interviewing us!
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai)
Interview
These days, the interview process has toughened up. I had 4 rounds of interview. 2 with Operations, 1 with HR and 1 online test (Aptitude, Grammar, Email).
My friends tell me that now, they have about 10 rounds conducted on multiple days. Should be the variation of the same process I had.
