The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2010
Interview
After applying for the position, a recruiter organizes for a phone interview with a team member. I was supposed to have the phone interview 5 days later, the interview was pushed to next week because the person was "busy with meetings". Finally was able to have the phone interview which lasted 40 minutes, was told that the recruiter would get back to me and the process is really fast at Amazon. This took another week before I got a rejection letter. When I asked if I can get any feedback about the interview, recruiter said no.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You will need a pen and paper to write some SQL queries and get tested on your technical knowledge about database concepts.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
The process consisted of a technical and behavioral round. Although the recruiter stated it would cover SQL and behavioral topics, the interview focused entirely on scenario-based and behavioral questions without a live SQL technical assessment. Communication after the interview was poor; the recruiter did not respond to follow-up emails, and an automated rejection notice was sent two days later.
