Process
I applied online.
Amazon had a pair of practical programming questions that differed in difficulty. The first one was fairly trivial math. The second was more interactive, figuring out what they wanted and then implementing several functions to achieve it.
Questions
The harder question was structured as a story. You had to parse what they were saying and then implement the methods point by point. It was a thorough object-oriented question.
