The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2012
Interview
The recruiter contacted me through email having found my resume through my university. She allowed me to provide a range of times when I was available over the next few weeks and we scheduled a phone screen interview.
1st phone screen: Interviewer was nice and asked me to turn off my computer and take out a sheet of paper and pen. I was then asked to write some code. Interview went pretty well, and the interviewer helped me out when I got stuck. I was then asked to read the code out to her and was allowed to ask her some questions of my own after the coding portion.
I received an email around 3 hours later for a second phone screen.

Question 1
Write a function to find the lowest common ancestor of two nodes in a BST.
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 (Sydney)
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.
