I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in Feb 2015
Interview
It is horrible, I never had this kind of stupid interview in my life. They want code vomiters for repeated questions, interviewers don't have enough knowledge to give new questions, they want to answer for the questions which are already available in glassdoor and you should not even take one minute to think about the solution. Even though i didn't go through the glassdoor, most of them are simple questions and I could able to clear upto 6 rounds. In the bar raiser round interviewer asked a question he didn't even give me a minute to think about the solution, he was giving continuous hints and rejected and got a feedback coding pretty slow and took hints from the interviewer.
This is completely non sense. If I don't have enough speed to code their question, why should they conduct 7 rounds of interview? I never asked the interviewer to give hints. Just I want to get the clarity on the space complexity of the solution he is looking for.
If you don't know the question earlier obviously you will take a minute to think, they don't have the passion to wait for a minute.
Even now I am working in a very good company. In Bar raiser round He asked me to explain the current project, it really has very good features and try to explain him, he was insulting the project and he told me he was rejected in my current company interview process. I can able to understand that was motivated him to insult that project.
It seems they are conducting the interview for time pass, not for actual requirements. Most of the peoples from good company and good college got rejected only freshers has been takes.

Very Very average tree questions, all of them available in glassdoor with answers, they don't have the ability to think of new questions
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2014
Interview
The recruiter was very polite and helpful, described the position and agreed to have split interview loop since I wanted to consider 2 teams.
The process organization was awesome: timely tickets to the plane and hotel reservation, everything payed upfront, interviewers were on time.
The interview lasted from 11-00 till 16-00 and included 5 1-1 interviews: 1 interview, a lunch break, then 3 more interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
2 coding questions (pure algorithms and structures), 2 design questions, one lunch interview where I was asking questions about the team, processes and so on.
My advice is to prepare about 20 questions you'd like to ask your interviewers.

There were 6 rounds in total.
First one was a telephonic screening. Once it was cleared, was called for the remaining interviews onsite. Screening round was not different than others
Onsite interviews happened on the same day with a gap of about 15-20 mins between each and a break for lunch in betweem

Question 1
All the questions were related to DS(trees,stacks,LLs), Algo(DP,Searching) and Design (low level and high level). Almost all the interviewers expected the code to be written
