The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2011
Interview
I had about 3 interviews over phone with the general recent graduate recruitment and two interviews with another group in Portland. All of the interviews seemed to went very well but surprisingly I got this email from them!
Hi,
After serious consideration, we have decided to pursue other candidates for the role you recently interviewed for. We realize that bright students like yourself have opportunities with other employers so we hope that you will consider Amazon in the future. We invite you to reapply in six months.
I want to thank you for taking time out to interview with Amazon and wish you well.
Regards,
It was so weird, I spend at least 2 hours for each interview and at the end I got a vague email. They were not organized at all and the interviewers mostly called me with delay!
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.
