I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Irvine, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
normal algorithms questions, like find word freq, reverse linked list, out put a tree in level order, have to be familiar with the data structures and algorithms, also have ques about tesing and ood, like what is the difference between interface and abstact class, how hash map works so on, what is unit test, things like that
Hackerrank round first and then two LC questions as the final round (BFS/DFS medium). Also had a behaviour component, testing the leadership principles and how my experiences aligned with them.
Expect one behavioral LP question followed by a leetcode medium or hard for two rounds. Be prepared to answer in depth on the behavioral questions and review LeetCode’s list of questions from Amazon.
