I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
After applying, received an email to complete an online assessment. The assessment consisted of 7 debugging questions to be completed within 20-21 minutes. All were easy questions but the time is probably a constraint. After completion of assessment, received an email within 7 days for phone interview. Only about 2-3 questions were asked in the interview related to algorithms, not difficult. Received offer in about 7 days.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
I was a basic telephonic interview, some questions on past experience followed by 2 programming questions. Programming language is of our choice. They basically want to see the approach, completion of program is too, but not must. They might select you based on your way of thinking.
