I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Got an email from recruiter asking to setup interview dates and times. There were about 3 options. Had two 45 minute phone interviews. Asked mostly technical questions one asked to tell him a little bit about myself. But there really is not a lot of time for chit chat. They move on to the technical questions quickly. First interviewer was nice second acted like I was wasting his time through the whole interview. It made me even more nervous. He Seemed relieved when I couldn't answer his question.

Question 1
Map customer numbers with pages visited and tree traversal.
The interview was basically a screening round, It was just a quick interview to get to know if I was worth the company's time. The dsa round was pretty easy but once they got into system design it was harder.
