I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2010
Interview
I had 2 phone interviews and one on-site one.
Phone interviews were very easy. Some algorithm questions in addition to some OO concepts.
The only weird thing about the phone interview is that you should read your program word by word for the interviewer when he/she asks you to implement an algorithm.
On-site interview was some how difficult. It was an one-day interview consists of 6 different interviews with different people.
One these guys is the Bar-raiser which is the most important one. Failing in his/her interview may cause you to fail whole the interview even if you do your best in other interviews.
Straightforward interview process with clear communication. The interviewers asked about my background, relevant experience, technical skills, and how I would handle common workplace situations. Overall, it felt professional and organized.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to walk through my previous experience and explain how it related to the responsibilities of the role.
OA contained 2 coding questions and then followed by a multiple choice question on behavioral where they emphasized a lot on their leadership rules which you can find on their website
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is customer obsession and how do you apply it
Could not use AI during the first interview. The recruiter was helpful in the screener but the coding exam was tough including the take home test. Did a few Leetcode examples but apparently that wasn't enough.
