The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2012
Interview
Just got a phone interview yesterday! It went great. My interviewer asked some resume questions, which were very easy going, and I was only given one problem to solve: one on object-oriented design (in Java). We worked on collabedit.com. The design was straightforward, although he was a bit picky about one of the methods I wrote and fed me hints for quite a while on how to perfect it. He sounded like he was in a bit of a rush as he told me he had a meeting to go to afterwards, and our conversation was wrapped up quickly. But I continued to work on the code afterwards and after he came back online and saw me, he very generously continued to guide me through it and after a while I got just about everything right. I just found out I made it through to another phone interview, so I'm guessing I did reasonably well or he was impressed by my persistence.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implement some classes to simulate a deck of cards.
the card class should have getRank() and getsuit() methods.
the deck class should have a shuffle() method and deal() method. The constructor should create a shuffled deck. The shuffle method must be hand-coded; the Collections.shuffle method is not allowed.
It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.

Interview
The interview process consisted of an online assessment followed by two technical interview rounds and one behavioral round. The technical rounds focused on Data Structures, Algorithms, Java, and problem-solving skills. The behavioral round covered Amazon Leadership Principles and past project experiences. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.

Amazon's home assignment test involves receiving a coding or case study assignment, completing it independently within a specified deadline (usually a few days), and submitting it for team review. I got an answer after 2 days
