I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2012
Interview
Pretty much like others said. More than one round of interviews. I did not even pass the first round so I can only talk about the first round. It was a one-on-one on-campus interview. First half of the interview was behavioral, last half was the coding questions. I had to write an NDA also.
Attire is very casual. It is very easy to outdress your interviewer. My interviewer was pretty laid-back and was very knowledgeable about the company. Really hard to tell what they thought about the interview.
Advice: Brush on your CS fundamentals. It's a cake walk if you prepared enough.
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.
