I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2009
Interview
A recruiter contacted me directly after posting resume on multiple online job boards. A technical phone interview was setup for me. The recruiter warned me that it would be a highly technical interview covering such things as algorithms and data structures. This is something I have not used in years so I spent a lot of time preparing for this interview. I was interviewed by a software developer who was very nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given the function prototype for a function called secondLargest given a pointer to a list of integers, write down on a piece of paper how you would implement this function and read it back to me. Follow up questions included what is the complexity of your algorithm (O notation)? How would you extend it to do nthLargest element?
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
