Interview
I applied Amazon through employee referral. The first round is an online assessment. There are two coding questions and many IQ and reading questions. The coding questions are really easy and they also provided test cases so you can run and see if you pass all the tests.
A month later I took the next round, which is a half-hour video interview. We discussed the problems in OA and I got the chance to ask him some questions about Amazon.
