I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2011
Interview
Applied Online and received an interview request in a week, scheduled a phone interview the next week.
Consisted of two 45 minutes phone interviews, the first one was purely technical with questions related to Data Structures, Algorithms, Coding- there were 3 coding questions where we are supposed to write code on paper and read it aloud, the second was mostly HR type questions about projects and experiences and 1 coding question.
Interviewers are mostly looking for your though process, give the first answer u can come up with and then start building on it ( on the basis of time complexities, memory etc )

How would you count the number of words in a string consisting of uneven number of spaces between words( not dictionary words)? With and without library functions.
Round 1: OA (Leetcode + behavioral)

The interviewer looked very disinterested and bored, like he did not want to be there at all.
