You can choose the date when you want to be interviewed. The interviewer will call on time and will ask you some questions which mainly focus on data structures and algorithms. You'll be asked to write code on a specified question and be encouraged to come up with a better algorithm in terms of time complexity to solve that question.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in Aug 2011
Interview
I applied online and after 2 weeks of my application, got an email about the interview and they wanted me to come into their office on Monday morning. I really did not have much time to brush up my skills but presented myself well on the day of the interview with few other candidates waiting for the same position as me. After a brief communication with few of their staffs, they wanted me to come back the next day for skill check interview. The next day morning, I was in their office and two men dressed up real well were questioning me about my education, skills and asked me a few questions about C++ and python commands. I hesitated a bit in the beginning, later on got the hang of it and started giving out the right answers. I thought the interview went on well, at the end they told me they will call me back. I did not hear anything back from them yet.
