The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2012
Interview
I had 3 telephone interviews before I got a reject. All 3 were technical as expected. Interviews covered almost all parts of software development-- OOD, Design Patterns questions, OS conxcepts, DB concepts.
Be confident and do not bluff( its like digging your own grave). Be thourough with OOD. Scripting language knowledge very helpful. Also if you have worked in Linux then it is helpful.
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.
