I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (Dallas, TX) in Nov 2012
Interview
I taken a campus interview, and failed in second round.
First round, I faced one tech interviewer, which threw me an problem about trie. I didn't figure that out.
Second round, 3 back-to-back interviews with three tech interviewers, 45 mins each.

Question 1
1. Trie. Given a string stream, and a Map, which has Strings as keys and Action as values.
When Strings in map were found, the mapping action would be fired. One character each time.
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
