Interview
Amazon HR got my resume for one of the job portals and they contacted me for this job requirement. They had planned for a Face-to-Face interviews with few selected candidates in our City. I was been informed that there would be 3 technical rounds and if got selected we'll be called onsite for few more rounds. The first round was general problem solving round. The interviewer asked me 2 problems: 1) Given a array and a sum, find all the pairs in the array which have the given sum. 2) Given a BST you need to identify swapped nodes

Interview
There's usually very little information from the recruiters on interview process or the groups that is taking the interview. Generally this info can be obtained from the interviewers.
There were 2 phone interviews, both last for about an hour. Most questions were generic about algorithms and data structures etc. Nothing specific on any language or OS.
After a long 3 week wait there was an invitation for in house interview. That too took 2 weeks to schedule, but no big deal.
The in house interview lasted for about 4 or so hours. There's some new wave of interviewing called behavioral interviews. I don't understand it, but I seriously doubt its working OR the interviews know what to ask and how to interpret. Of course I'm sure they are trained, but not everybody learns what the non-techie expects techies to learn.

Question 1
Design kind of questions are usually difficult questions. Mainly because they are hypothetical situations and not necessarily straight forward design. Of course the interviewer is always ready to help, but they have already prepared for it. We have to think and come up with some answer is next 5-15 minutes, to even start a discussion. That part is usually difficult.
