The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2011
Interview
I was first contacted by recruiter and explained the position. I did first phone screen and i was asked data structure questions and immediately got second phone screen. I was asked OOD question in 2nd phone screen and invited 1:1 interview afterward. There were 6 1:1 interview and it was little bit hard. I did good but not good enough to get the offer :)

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.
