I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Praga) in Feb 2013
Interview
Amazon found me on linkedin, gave me a programming test (I had 60 minutes to complete that) where they asked about algorithmic correctness and also complexity, and finally invited me to face-to-face interview in a hotel nearby. The face-to-face interview was four-round interview, each round there was someone different asking different questions and doing lot of notes. Everyone was smiling so I felt like everything is fine, I am doing well etc, but as it turned out, it is not the case.

Interview
The process was a mess - they scheduled a phone call and the requiter just did not call, I had to remind him about the call. Then they scheduled a phone screening and canceled 15 minutes after it was supposed to start...
The phone screening itself was not extremely difficult, it included 1 tech questions and several "leadership" questions.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Sep 2014
Interview
Was interviewed for Associates team in Bangalore. Worst experience. Three people talked to me in September. The 2 Senior developer managers didn't know anything about development. Zero. Wasted my time. And never will I work with such morons who think they can manage developers without any acetate knowledge.
