I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Jan 2014
Interview
Applied online. They then contacted me with interview dates that were available. I was in korea at the time so I had to postpone and they were willing to move the dates back. The interview consisted of two 45 minute technical phone interviews. They were not very difficult as far as coding and algorithms go.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given two sorted arrays how would you combine them into one sorted array.
Further: Given a list of K sorted arrays of average length N, how would you combine them into one sorted array.
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.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
