The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2011
Interview
Originally received an email from a recruiter asking for my updated resume. They asked for a list of times that worked better for me and a couple days later they had a phone interviewed scheduled.
Recruiter was very helpful at clarifying questions about the process and replied to emails on a timely manner. I even received emails from him in the middle of the night.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
The interview started with normal behavioral questions, such as what type of technology do you like the most, what do you not like, why do you want to work for amazon and so on. Then the interview moved to technical questions and then programming questions. The first programming question I was asked was "Assuming a valid binary tree, write a function to insert a new node into the tree"
the second question was a little tougher, "Write a function that checks whether a binary tree is valid or not. A valid binary tree is a tree where no child node points to any of its ancestors"
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
The interview process consisted of an online assessment followed by two technical interview rounds and one behavioral round. The technical rounds focused on Data Structures, Algorithms, Java, and problem-solving skills. The behavioral round covered Amazon Leadership Principles and past project experiences. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.

Interview
Amazon's home assignment test involves receiving a coding or case study assignment, completing it independently within a specified deadline (usually a few days), and submitting it for team review. I got an answer after 2 days
Straightforward interview process with clear communication. The interviewers asked about my background, relevant experience, technical skills, and how I would handle common workplace situations. Overall, it felt professional and organized.
