I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2012
Interview
I had two back to back 45 minute interviews. After a couple months, I was asked to setup a third phone interview. The interviews consisted of two coding questions each. Coding was done on paper and then read back to the interviewer. Pretty informal overall.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The technical interview process was totally based on resolving algorithms and logic, LinkedList was one of the topics. You have to write it down on paper and then talk the code back to the interviewer.
Everybody I had the opportunity to interact was very, very nice except for the second technical interviewer, a very arrogant guy who make me very upset.
If you want to move on, buy some books like that "Cracking the Code Interview" and get to the basics of computer science.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Unexpected question: my second phone interviewer felt bad when I said that I was good interfacing with clients. He was expecting me to say that I loved some code, or something technical like that. Not that I don't like, I do a lot, but I had to proof that since it was not his first assumption for a Software Developer.
