The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2010
Interview
I came across a job opening through Dice.com. I heard back from the recruiter after a couple of weeks and she fixed a phone interview. The interviewer first started out by asking me questions about my resume and my current job and then he went on to technical questions. I managed to make it to the second phone interview which also consisted of technical questions related to algorithms and data structures.

Question 1
You are given a binary search tree of integers. Given a target integer, find the greatest integer that is smaller than the target integer.
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.
