I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in Jul 2014
Interview
I applied online the process took several months. There were to rounds of phone interviews followed by an on-site, full-day interview.
The interviewers on the phone were both chilled out and helpful.
They asked some basic computer science related questions that I cannot recall but it wasn't hard.
Both phone interviews had one coding task as it's main part which I had to conduct on the fly through a website that provided real-time visibility of my code to the interviewers.
The first one they assessed if I'm capable of applying the OO design principles and made me implement a card shuffler.
On the second phone interview I had to implement a function which returns the string versions of numbers in English, e.g. 11 => eleven.

Good interview process overall. The questions were mostly focused on general software engineering knowledge, with a strong emphasis on AI concepts. The interviewers were professional, and the process was well organized.
