I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2011
Interview
I got two rounds of phone interviews, each separated by two weeks. Two interviewers are all engineers not HR. So they asked technical questions most of the time. Other questions are normal, like how did you hear about our group? why Amazon? Describe a project you did before, and state the difficulty, how you overcome it. The technical questions are about binary tree depth, sort large data file. I didn't code well, but talked most of the time. Anyway, I got rejected.
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.
