I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2011
Interview
This was a university recruiting. A panel of 4 people came to the university. First we had a screening round in which each candidate was interviewed with one interviewer from the panel. In that each one was give one algorithm/design question. First we need to discuss our idea or design with the interviewer then he asks us to code it up in our the language we are comfortable with.
After you clear that we had another three similar rounds with the rest of the three people from the panel.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A variation of the K-nearest neighbour problem, and how do you scale it?
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
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.
