I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Corvallis, OR) in Mar 2016
Interview
My interview was an expedited group interview to fill up remaining spots for the 2016 interns. They came to my university and had a large group interview session, which consisted of two parts. The first being a SAT like section with multiple choice math/pattern matching and reading/writing sections. The second being an actual coding section. They said that there were a couple positions to fill and the top scorers would receive an offer after just this round. Other potential candidates would receive another interview round. There were about 30 people in the group.

Question 1
I received a webpage pagination question which revolved around implementing a stack/queue data structure.
I've completed only the online assessment, which included several medium to difficult LeetCode problems. These covered topics such as dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, and graph traversal. I managed to solve all the problems within the time limit and felt confident about my performance. Although I haven’t had an interview yet, I’m well-prepared and eager to move forward in the process.
