Amazon Developer interview questions

3 Phone Screens + 1 in-house interview day First phone screen: Development Manager position. I felt like I did good enough to warrant further consideration, but I knew I wasn't likely the best software manager candidate they ever interviewed. Interviewer was professional and friendly. He indicated there would be more screening. Second phone screen: Senior Development Manager position. Interviewer was a very senior director level manager of a large organization within Amazon. When answering questions about about project scheduling and live site issues, I failed to realize that Amazon's highest priority is keeping their existing services working perfectly and that trumps any new development. If I had recognized that part of their business before the call, I may have given more impressive answers. Third phone screen: Software engineering (individual contributor position). This was a very comfortable interview for me. Mostly all technical and programming questions. I knew I had done well when I got off the phone. Between each phone screen, a few weeks would go by without hearing anything. I would wait at least a week and then politely email the recruiter about next steps. Each time, the recruiter would apologize for the delay and setup the next phase (which would usually be for the subsequent week). Treat those Amazon recruiters nicely - Amazon is going through a huge growth spurt right now and their recruiters have way too many positions to fill to give anyone individual attention. So if you get anxious, wait at least a week, and send very short and professional mails to the recruiters asking about next steps. They are good about following up to any email you send within a few days. In person interview: 6 hours of interviews. This included 4 separate hour-long interviews of coding and design problems on the white board. I felt like I did very well.
