I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2013
Interview
I applied on the university career website. Got a call saying they are interested in interviewing me. Setup two interviews for a scheduled day. First person dint call as I think he couldnt connect, or got busy. Second interview went smooth. He asked me to write a simple program, swapping two variables values. Then asked about linked list, hash-maps, pros and cons of each, time complexities. After a week second interview was setup, he asked questions on similar lines. Like, writing a code to reverse a string, discussed time-complexities, different sorting algorithms, and different data structures.
Got a call after a long while with an internship offer.
The interview process was straightforward and friendly. It started with a recruiter screening, followed by a technical interview. The interviewer asked basic coding questions, object-oriented programming concepts, and a few behavioral questions based on Amazon Leadership Principles. The coding problems were not very difficult, and the interviewer was willing to provide hints when needed. Overall, the experience was positive and well organized.
i applied online around october, got the OA around march/april originally for summer but headcount was reached so i expressed interest in being considered for their fall internship. they reached out in late may and got my interview scheduled in june
