The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2012
Interview
I got two phone interviews (They are 1 week apart from each other). They considered the fact that my background is not CS. (I'm in EE. but I have experience on system software engineer ) They asked basic questions. All questions are in typical coding interview books. I was called to on-site interview. there were 5 interviews including lunch interview. All questions are in glassdoor interview experience. but I'm not so good to explain even basic things. So rejected

Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
