The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2012
Interview
I was contacted by the HR manager for a telephonic interview. I provided them with a date for the interview. However, there was a mixup with the time of the interview. I was called few minutes earlier than I was to supposed to get the call. The interviewer was friendly. All the questions asked to me were technical and apart from providing a solution I was also asked to calculate their complexities.
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).
