I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2012
Interview
Received an email from HR about scheduling a phone interview. I applied at their website before that but they also could have found my resume another way. First phone interview was all techincal and asked me to code a method to do a depth first search of a binary tree. And also had me do a coding problem where I had an endless stream of integers and I had to keep track of the 1000 largest in big O of log N time.
Second phone interview was all technical and had be right a method to take in two numbers and raise one number to the power of the other ex: 2^3 = 8; Next questions was given an array of numbers to remove the duplicates in big O n log N times with memory space of big O(1).
I didn't make it pasted the second phone interview

Question 1
given an array of numbers to remove the duplicates
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
