Interview
About 6 weeks after I submitted my application Amazon reached out to me by sending the first part of their coding assessment. It was 2 parts and involved a code-debugging section, and then a general logic based problem solving section. Within one day I got an email congratulating me for advancing, and it included the second part of the coding assessment, which was a pretty standard 70 minute 2 problem challenge. 2-3 days later I received an email inviting me to schedule a phone interview. The interview was fairly short, 45 minutes, and involved a general Q&A section, a theoretical section, and a live coding section. I received my offer 8 days later.

Question 1
Describe a time that you did something beyond your responsibilities.
The process was basically three parts. There was a debug test, then a coding test, and then another one that I didn't get to. Overall, prepare and solidify your knowledge of data structures and algorithms and you should be good.
