I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I took an online assessment which was mostly finding small bugs in programs. Next was a 45-1 hour phone interview. Both the online assessment and phone interview were pretty simple. I thought I did pretty well but still I did not get an offer. The interviewer was pretty nice and was helpful on some of the questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was all technical questions. First question was to write a fizzbuzz program. Second questions was, given two lists containing names, find the common names in the lists. Third question was, given an array in an ascending order, and given that you know that there is at least one integer missing from the array, determine this number. I was also asked complexity of binary trees. The interviewer was a nice guy. He was so cool.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
