I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2013
Interview
It was not a normal interview process. This interview was different from the normal ones, it was based on full day project.
In this project recruiters will form a team of 3 or less and they will assign a project which will consist of three parts.
By the EOD you will have to complete all the three modules of the project. While you are working on the project, they will have 30-40min interview with you, where they will ask you questions about the given project like how and what will you implement? and why this module? Data structures and details about it.

Question 1
It was question related to a project we were working on.
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.
