I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in Aug 2010
Interview
Nothing to tell much about the interview since i did not clear the two rounds. First round is written test which consists of aptitude questions and 3 algorithm questions. Basically all the 3 algorithm was based on the tree data structure. And those who had cleared the first round had around 4 rounds of technical interviews. All the 4 rounds was also focused on the data structures and algorithms. Finally 2 people got selected from 200 candidates.

After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
