The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2011
Interview
Started with a phone interview, asked simple questions about background, coding experience, etc. Second phone interview logged onto a website to do some programming with them. Questions usually about data structures, they asked me to find the two largest non-equivalent but structurally equal subtrees in a binary tree. Interviews in Washington were of the same sort, very similar to interviewing with Google.
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
