I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Applied online for open position. Received phone call approximately two weeks later to setup a phone interview. Phone interview with hiring machine occurred about a week later. The phone interview included "writing" small function and system design questions. A week after that I was contacted for a on-site interview, which was scheduled 3 weeks out. Onsite interview consisted 6 45-minute interviews, which included writing small programs and design questions. The interviewers appeared to take detail notes of all my answers. Received an offer two weeks after the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a function to transform one word to another word, changing one letter at a time, using only valid words (e.g., cat -> dog: cat, hat, hag, hog, dog).
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
