I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Jun 2013
Interview
Received an offer for a interview from a recruiter. First phone interview with a lady that had less experience than me. Second interview with a junior developer with less experience (and guessing even programming knowledge) than me. They did not seem happy with C# 4.0 syntax. I had to rewrite my answers in C++ syntax. I had not worked with binary trees since university but I was able to answer the questions. No idea why they did not select me for a onsite interview. However, I don't care I was not sure if I was going to put up with they crazy 8 hrs on site interview, and also I was not very interested as they pay is the same as other smaller companies, the pressure is way higher and I prefer to have balanced life outside work.
Overall, after taking to my friend (ex-amazon programmer) too little reward for the trouble. Employees do not even have free Prime.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No one, they were all fairly simple. Questions related to binary trees and linked lists.
Good interview process overall. The questions were mostly focused on general software engineering knowledge, with a strong emphasis on AI concepts. The interviewers were professional, and the process was well organized.
