I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2010
Interview
I was first contacted by their HR in late October about the possible position in Amazon. I had two phone interviews with them. Both interviewers are friendly. They asked mostly CS and programming related questions as well as the OOD problem. I did well in the phone interviews. After a week, I was informed that they want me to go on-site for a formal interview.
The onsite interview was tough, I've talked to seven interviewers. Each one for one hour. Most interviewers are friendly. Some questions are really tough and open. I know I still have so much to improve interms of my technical skill. After all, I am a fresh graduate trying land my first job. I didn't get the offer as I expected. But I feel I learned a lot.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role
It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
