I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Jun 2012
Interview
I appeared for a codesprint at interviewstreet.com for Amazon India. I could solve 4 out 4 problems. I was given two emails to send my resume to. One of them bounced and from the other I got no response. On reminder, I got out of office reply. I asked the manager mentioned in the out of office reply for updates. There was no response from him either. This process took a month. I demanded an explanation about this behavior from interviewstreet. Immediately they swung into action and the manager from Amazon replied saying that I should receive a call from HR. I got a call from Chennai HR, saying that the Bangalore HR will be call me up and schedule an interview. No response for the next 7 days, suddenly another HR person wakes up and contacts interviewstreet saying that he missed the email. I reply saying that I had been called by a HR personnel who has informed me that an interview will be scheduled with Bangalore team. More than a month no communication from Amazon side - not even a email saying that my experience does not seem to be relevant, or looks inadequate or that they have no more requirements as of now. Just to put things in perspective, I hold MTech degree in CSE from IIT and have 4 years of experience in the industry. Overall, my experience about the interview process has been not just negative but disappointing. I was interested in Amazon, as they do some work in interesting topics like machine learning, NLP etc but with this experience, I would never like to work with them.
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.
