Amazon Software Engineer interview questions

The process started out with taking an easy online assessment of 7 questions. After that was completed I had an over the phone technical interview that lasted for about 45 minutes and consisted of one multipart question. The interviewer was helpful in getting me through parts of the problem which I stumbled on and over all it was a good experience. Other than the technical question the interviewer was also very interested in what I have done outside of school (programming oriented side projects in particular).

I was contacted by a recruiter on Linkedin. I was given a timed coding exercise to complete on a website. After that I was invited to a recruitment event organized in Europe. The face to face interviews were nice. In the beginning me and other guys sitting in a hotel room were told that there would be 3 interviews for each person but if there was need they could invite some people for the 4th one too(and I was). During for interviews the format was more or less the same. I had to answer questions about my background, some technical problems and coding on whiteboard. The thing that bothered me throughout the whole interview process was that there was no clear description of what I was supposed to work on. I didn't have much to say about what I wanted to work on and they decided on my behalf for what role I fitted best(it was something I had absolutely no interest nor previous experience) and which location(not the location I wanted in the first place). Overall it was a positive experience, talking to smart people in the interviews and solving interesting questions. But for the reasons I explained I ended up declining their offer.
