I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Was contacted for a phone interview from the campus recruiter. Followed up with a total of three phone interviews before being flown to Seattle for an onsite interview. Questions consisted of basic data structures and some concepts.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a system for elevators with multiple lobbies and multiple areas of access (ie one elevator can open at floors 1-5, another from 3-7, etc)
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 (Sídney)
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.
