I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Bellevue, WA) in Jun 2010
Interview
Overall the interview is all about data structures and algorithms. The questions are not very difficult, but I failed because this was my first ever interview with any company and I did not prepare well. If I was interviewed at later stage I would perform much better. Anyway here are some of the questions that I still remember
(1) Given two large files of integers, only one byte difference. Find out this byte if memory is limited.
What if memory is unlimited?
Tell the complexity of your algorithm and analyze it.
(2) Why Amazon?

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).
