I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Telephone, TX) in Feb 2012
Interview
Three phone screens, two back to back, one a few weeks later. I think did poorly on my first interview (nervous), and very well on the second. The third was likely a tie-breaker. No behavioral questions were asked except basic "tell me about a recent project you worked on" chit chat. Questions emphasized data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented analysis.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design a customer product review system and make it scalable (describe in terms of algorithms and data structures)?
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
