I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2014
Interview
There were no behavioral questions, the interviewers sent me a url of collabedit and then we start the technical interview.
1 question about BST, 2 questions about linked lists. I told him I've seen one question before.
Most of the time i was typing and explaining what i was trying to do, they asked the time complexity questions and also asked to explain why.
In a word, not hard, but if the others did better than you, answered more questions than you, you would finally lose the opportunity.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.
