I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2012
Interview
Got this call from a recruiter. Initially 2 rounds of telephonic interviews. Questions were based on DS and Algorithms of average difficulty. After that they called for face to face 1:1 interviews. They arranged the travelling and accommodation. There I had 4 round of 1:1 interviews.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How will you save a spreadsheet like file on a hard drive? Catch was that file can have many rows and many columns, many can be vacant. Each cell can have data of varying size.
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 (Sídney)
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.
