I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Interview process was standard, 2 phone interviews, onsite interview.
Interviewers are full of egoistic's, as they are working in a great company and rest of the people /companies are nothing to them. Please understand that every company has it's own problems and it's unique solutions. Don't expect everyone follow Amazon's strategy.
I understand that every company wants the person to fit their culture. But your culture ? No body wants to work in that kind of culture with that tiny salary.I can totally understand your culture by your questions and my answers. I'm here to Code not to fight with the rest of the company all the time. If you want someone to fight you should get someone from wrestling business.
Hope you get someone and hope he'll stay with you atleast 3 years. Sigh

Question 1
How do you manage the disagreement at your workplace.
I got a take home exam on HackerRank that I did not do great in. I did not perfectly solve every problem. Then it was another problem with "AI assistance" except the AI seemed programmed to be as useless as possible, it's genuinely better to just not use it. Somehow I got the next interview anyways, who also asked me some leetcode style questions and asked my to explain my experience and then next day they rejected me.
