I applied through other source. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2013
Interview
I was contacted via LinkedIn and a technical telephone interview was setup. The technical interviewer had a fairly strong Indian (I think) accent and I found it difficult to understand him. Which made it very difficult to participate in the interview. In retrospect I should have just said that I couldn't understand him and tried to work something else out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was only asked one question. Given a Single Linked List print its values in reverse order. I provided some solutions but interviewer was looking for use of recursion.
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.
