I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX) in Feb 2013
Interview
After I submitted my resume in university career fair. I got 2 round on campus interview. All techinical questions, actually not about the project experience too much. The first round is by AMS manager who seems pretty nice and interested in large scale computing. The interview went nice and I need to write code on a paper briefly about my solution. Second round is by 3 interviews together,45 min each with an engineer. The problems are like link list, priority queue, binary search tree and almost all has been mentioned somehow in career cup or so. Take a look at the interview preparation website is a great help. They seems like the free and open culture in Amazon and they have great passion about their job. Very nice.
Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Amazon
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
