I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego, CA) in Sep 2013
Interview
I applied online and a few days later, they provided me with a link to an online test. They are basic coding questions which most programmers should know how to solve. You have the option of coding in Java or C++. Make sure to learn and understand the library of the language well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot of the questions had something to do with sorting algorithms, or some modified version of it.
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
