I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Ithaca, NY) in Oct 2012
Interview
Just had first phone Interview. Asked a bunch of background questions to which I think I talked to much maybe...But then he immediately moved into a simple coding question and then into a pretty tricky one. I tried my best and I'm not sure if I got through both. Afterwards, just chatted about the environment, work, management opportunities, etc which were important to me.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Not really difficult - just reverse an integer of arrays and return it.
Given any string, find the index of the start of the first duplicated 3-letter subsequence. For example, in abcabcdef, it would be 0, and abcdefdef would be 3, and then abcdefkajdkffatabcdef would be 0, and abcdefkajdkffatdef would be 3.
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.

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.
