I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2013
Interview
I applied for new grad position through their careers.
After 20 days I got a mail from one of their recruiter and asked me to complete assessment test within 7 days.
Test consisted of 3 coding questions and they should be coded within 90 minutes in your favorite language.
Questions:
1. Test whether linked list is cyclist or not.
2. Print k closest points to origin out of n points in a XY coordinate system.
3. I don't exactly remember the third one, but it was related to arrays.
After 2 weeks I got a mail from recruiter saying that they want to go with other candidates.
